It was wonderful to meet the India GSE team: Leader Krishna, members Aparna, Kalyani, Nagesh & Raju. We learned so much from them & it was impressive to see the projects their Rotary Club has worked on in the areas of water wells & pumps, childrens' education, sewing machines, & cataract surgeries. This international involvement is one of the great strengths of Rotary--we have 1.2 million friends around the world. Thank you, Ed, for posting this slideshow.

Peru is a fascinating country with a wonderful tradition of hospitality and great food. You'll wish these GSE trips were a year long by the time you're coming home...though I think it's hard to get a year off from work, isn't it? Hasta Luego, Charlie Carlitos Cogan Dear Sarah:

Richard is too modest. He has become a district spokesperson for polio eradication and done talks at several clubs and I'm sure his talks have generated giving, but also made polio real to people who never had to live in fear of the disease. His book was also featured in "The Rotarian" magazine last year, so it will have inspired people across the world (magazine's circulation over 500,000 copies). Jim Pokorney was also on our 2003 team and the drum Richard mentioned is significant because it's a "talking drum", which can be used to spread news in rural areas where there is no TV and even radio can be sketchy. Richard's been a great addition to our club and has helped out in many different efforts. He was already very active before he joined Rotary and when I mentioned his name at a talk in Wayzata, someone in the crowd immediately jumped up and said, "I know Richard, we used to teach together", which just reminds us that people who come to Northfield and share their talents have often been doing so long before they settled here.
