Rizel, our GSE chair on this end for this trip has really gone all out in getting us some amazing vocational days. So today we were all spread out around Davao to experience our respective vocations.
Kelli went to the tv station where she will connect with Melanie who is a news anchor and part of the outbound GSE team to our district. Rumour has it that she may also make the 5.30pm news tonight!
Bevan was sent out to see a couple of elementary schools and their feeding programs.
Brooke is back to a maternity ward of a local hospital for the day.
Faydra is at a YMCA here today then will be spekaing at and visiting a rehab centre.
I am at SM mall – this place is huge! I’ve spent the morning with the mall marketing manager, and am astounded at both how similar and diffent our retail industries can be. It’s amazing the difference culture can make in business.
Anyways, we’re here in Davao – a big city – for 4 more days so hopefully we’ll be able to report in on our learnings and our gracious and fun-loving hosts!
Hi Gang,
It looks like you are having an experience of a lifetime. Welcome to the unbelievable world of GSE.
I am enjoying your blogs immensely and only wished that I had this (your blogspot) available in 2005 when I led a team to Queensland Australia.
Take every little moment in because time just flies by. I am really looking forward to hearing from you at the conference in Prince Rupert. I am sorry that I did not meet up with you before your departure, however, I intend on getting to know you all at Rupert.
Keep up the good work that you are doing for your country and most importantly Rotary.
Cheers
Bob Blacker

Hello Bob,
All I can say that as a past leader of GSE and past DG you are certainly among some amazing people and fine rotarians. We have been fortunate to meet many DG’s and past DG’s as well as GSE leaders and they are wonderful examples of rotarians around the world.
Yes, the blog certainly is helpful. I just wish we could post more often with all the amazing things we’re experiencing. Hopefully we can show a snippet of the amazing land at the conference. And we’ve managed to spend some time with the outgoing GSE team from here and they too will be putting on quite the performance in Rupert!
Looking forward to meeting you there!
Sonja
