ROTARY DISTRICT 5040

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 GROUP STUDY EXCHANGE (GSE)

Group Study Exchange is an educational program of The Rotary Foundation where Rotary districts in different countries are paired to send and receive professional study groups of four to six non-Rotarian team members and one Rotarian team leader to travel for four to six weeks, staying in the homes of Rotarians when possible.

1.2 GSE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

The Group Study Exchange program is a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for young business and professional men and women in their initial years of professional life. The program is designed to develop professional and leadership skills among young adults so that they can address the needs of their communities and an increasingly global workplace. GSE offers Rotarians the opportunity to participate in sending, receiving, and sharing educational experiences of study teams that will enhance Rotary’s worldwide mission. GSE participants follow an extensive and rigorous program of international travel and team activities.

1.3 TIPS FOR HOST FAMILIES

Effective GSE host families will:

Welcome the team member. If possible, one or more family members should be among the welcoming delegation that meets the GSE team upon arrival in the host community. Families should introduce themselves to the team member(s) assigned to them and assure that they are looking forward to the visit.

Share their home and lifestyle. While the team member is living in local homes,

the daily routine should be disrupted as little as possible. Host families are encouraged to share their culture as it exists in everyday life. This does not mean hosting elaborate parties and entertainment but allowing the guest to participate in daily family activities, religious pursuits, community involvement, etc.

2. GREETINGS FROM DISTRICT 5040 GOVERNOR DEAN ROHRS

On behalf of Rotary District 5040 I want to extend a warm Canadian welcome to District 9200’s Group Study Exchange Team. A very special thank you to District Governor Chris Mutalya and his gracious wife Rose for agreeing to be our GSE partner in 2008.

Having lived most of my life in Africa, I am familiar with the cultural differences that you will all experience and some of the challenges that you will face when you arrive in Canada. I am very excited to have the opportunity of hosting the D9200 GSE team

in British Columbia. As a long time supporter of the program, my husband Rhino and I have home hosted numerous GSE members over the years, many of whom we still maintain contact. The Rotary Group Study Exchange program is a great way to foster goodwill and understanding between our countries. In a year where we have a Group Study Exchange with Africa, it is particularly fitting that the District Conference will also feature a very distinguished Keynote Speaker from that same continent - Jonathan B. Majiyagbe, Rotary Foundation Trustees Chair Elect (2005-09) and Rotary International President 2003-2004 We are very much looking forward looking forward to having the District 9200 GSE Team help us make “Rotary Rock” at the District 5040 Conference in Richmond, B.C. May 15th to 18th.

Dean Rohrs District Governor

This year British Columbia celebrates its 150th birthday.
