Group Study Exchange Program Reactivated - India
This year, after a hiatus of about 3 years, District Governor Dennis McMann has revived the Group Study Exchange (GSE) program. It is my pleasure to inform you that we are working closely with RI District 3181 in Mysore, India and we are putting together a GSE team of 5 members - 1 Rotarian Team lead and 4 non-Rotarians to send to Mysore, India.
Round trip travel to Mysore will be paid by District 7870 for all five members. You will be staying with local Rotarians during the trip, they will host you in their homes. During the trip you will experience the local culture and equally important you will have the opportunity to meet locals in the host community and exchange ideas and share your vocational experiences. You will also have an opportunity to experience the District Conference in district 3181. For more information about the GSE program, please refer to the GSE Team Members Handbook online at GSE Applications.
This is an invitation to all Rotarians from District 7870 who may be interested in applying to be the Team Lead for the group. The trip is for three weeks starting mid-January to the first week of February 2017.
