GSE in the news


Tommorrow we depart Rajkot with the most amazing memories. Some of my favorite involve interactions with the press. Our GSE team was twice featured in the pages of Akila Newspaper. Try this link Akila News but it may go bad after tomorrow. We were also priviledged (thanks to my wonderful host Ketan Joshi, Rotary Club of Rajkot president) to be interviewed on Big FM 92.7. We each were asked to share our impressions of Rajkot and its people. Of course, we had nothing but the nicest words. And today, while visiting a clothing store that features hand-made fabrics, we were subjects of a media storm. It was awesome. There were no less than 10 photographers and videographers from national television stations like Z News to document our visit. The event also graced the pages of Akila News once again. Check here for the story but be warned the link may expire.

The next city on our tour of Gujarat is Porbandar. But during our car ride tomorrow, I plan to write a proper recap of our time in Rajkot. GSE is a tremendous experience. Thank you Rotary. Thank you so much!!
