There is beauty everywhere and wonderful people abound, regardless of their circumstances. What a special experience -- to be able to enjoy the beauty, while learning to understand the differences and joy in the similarities. Have a wonderful time!! Nancy S.

Keep them coming. I'm excited for all of you and can't wait to meet you in person. Hope everyone stays well from this point on. (Sorry, Rebecca, to hear of your illness. I had the flu while in Peru this summer; it's a very humbling experience to get sick in unfamiliar surroundings.)

Continue to build those bridges toward understanding. Absorb, enjoy, and as a recent book title suggested, "Eat, pray, love."

There are probably more good people in the world than the other kind, so your first hand evaluation will be of great interest. Stay safe and have fun.

I really enjoyed the last GSE Team from India (amybe 1996 or so???) and I know that you will have a great time. Enjoy it and take lots of pictures.

It would be interesting to mentally speculate how this one act will differently affect the society, environment, and economic well-being of the areas you will visit and what Rotarians in India may find themselves doing to mitigate any negative impacts and facilitate positive aspects. Great contrast of the places you have visited - your writing provides an excellent perspective to us that are following your adventure.

I hope everyone can catch their breath after the Conference and prepare themselves for the "stretch run" of club visits. I think you will find each club just as different as Ranchi and Jamshedpur... with their own personality, style and way of doing things. Travel safely.
