It's a small world

Yesterday I was riding with a friend on the streetcar, when a group of people got on. My friend noticed one of them wearing a jacket with the Rotary insignia on it. We asked one of the group if they were with Rotary. As it turns out, they are members of the Greater Clark County Rotary Club--the club sponsoring Trish for this trip and the same club that has a water project in Davao. We chatted a bit about GSE and this particular trip. All of them spoke highly of Trish, and their excitement about our opportunity. They also look forward to seeing pictures and hearing about our trip to their project in Davao. For me, this little experience only reinforced the great sense of connection that Rotary builds between people, even in small ways like a brief, friendly chat on public transit.

That is so kind! I actually did a mini-presentation at a club meeting on Thursday. I talked about the GSE program, and shared some pictures of our team adventures.
