From October 15-20, Rotary International will be hosting Group Study Exchange visitors from Bangladesh.  So that they feel welcome and to give them a chance to learn about American culture Rotaract will be sharing some dessert and a high school football game on Friday October 16th. Meet us at Pinkberry at State and De La Guerra at 5:45pm if you’d like to help us represent Rotaract and Santa Barbara, it will be fun! The football game is San Marcos High School vs Oxnard and we’ll caravan as a group after dessert.

Rotary_logo_2010The same program that took Dana and Liz to Thailand is accepting applications for a trip to Bangladesh‘s District 3280 in 2010.

Through the Group Study Exchange (AKA GSE), the Rotary Foundation pays for a team of young professionals between the ages of 25 and 40 to travel to a foreign country.  The program develops professional and leadership skills while promoting international understanding. Team members usually stay in Rotarians’ homes, experiencing  local culture.
