Last night our team presented at the official Rotary meeting with three Bhavnagar clubs present. Renee sang our national anthem in closing, which moved not only the Rotarians, but also our team. It is such an honor to be on this life-changing trip with such talented, inspiring people. Additionally, it is humbling to see firsthand the selfless work the Rotarians throughout Gujarat are doing each day in their communities.
We've enjoyed spending a great deal of time with our host families in Bhavnagar. We've heard about this city's reputation for hospitality and in just two days we know it is true.
In Porbandar we visited Gandhi's birthplace, and today in Bhavnagar we enjoyed perhaps the most comprehensive collection of photos, letters and interviews chronicling Gandhi's life. We could've spent all day here.

Well put, Whitney. Last night's meeting with the three clubs was the best yet. Good presentations by all and the Atlanta video was well received. The enthusiasm and pride in the Rotarians for their projects is inspiring to us all.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, with no warm up, Renee showed us all what professionalism is all about.
Enjoying the updates and stories...keep them coming. Sounds like an amazing experience for all concerned.
