Celebration Dinner
After almost 3 months from the GSE journey, our team can finally arrange a celebration dinner of the completion of the trip in Hong Kong. In these three months, we have very packed travels individually. Yolanda has several business trips to the Netherlands, Singapores....... Pauline went to a summer school in Beijing for three weeks. Joe has his "honeymoon" with his wife Annie to Turkey and Europe for 32 days. Kenneth went to Australia to visit his daugther and son. We finally managed to meet again for the celebration.

Pauline & Joe's Last Host Family @ Sao Paulo
Everyone we met in Brazil are good friend of us. However, if we should vote for the best host,
Andrea and Joao is definitely the first on the list. Andrea picked our team up on the first day of our arrival and Joao sent us back home on our last day of stay at Sao Paulo. Their family has hosted Yolanda in the first week. After the official trip finished, they hosted Pauline and Joe again for their extended stay at Sao Paulo. In addition, Andrea's parents' home at Sao Caetano had also been a temporary home for the team when we had very packed schedule at that area.
Without this pair of perfect couple, our trip could not be so perfect. A special applause should go to Joao's family.
Happy gathering at Andrea's parents' "museum house".
Bros Antonio shared the room for Yolanda and Pauline.
Funky costume party at night.

My first day being a Rotarian..
Dear all Brazilian friends and Rotarians,
Initially, I just want to find a regular place to do some charity services. I have an opportunity to join the GSE program to Brazil this year. I was overwhelmed by my GSE trip to Brazil. Your kind heart and your enthusiasm in the charity work and the passionate about life and your country , which I have made up my mind to serve our community through joining Rotary Club this family as my life commitment. I will continue my dream to “GIVE, SHARE and EXPLORE” Share with you some of the moment of the installation of Rotary Club of Peninsula Sunrise. Thanks PDG Ada Cheng, PDG Albert, DGN Kenneth Wong and all the PP and the Rotarians to join this commencement of my Rotarian life.
Cheers, Yolanda
p.s. Dear Pauline and Joe, I miss you two..hope to catch up with you soon.

Our Presentation back in HK - 7 Jun 2010
GSE teammates all arrived Hong Kong safely on 4 June 2010.
Reported by Joe
The little incident was Joe's and Pauline's luggage were missed during transit in South Africa. They have to wait for 1-2 days, but luckily the airline sent the luggage directly to their home, they no need to carry +30 kgs heavy bags :-)
On the 7th of June, we have got a chance to do our 1st presentation in the Joint General Meeting of 6 rotary clubs. One of the rotary club is Joe's sponsoring club: Rotary Club of New Territories.
It was a wonderful arrangement that we were so thankful to district and involved rotary clubs.
They provided us a very nice venue to share our story in Brazil.
By the way, you can see from below picture that, our District Governor - Ada Cheng was ALWAYS supporting us !!!! You are the best !!!
We kept sharing for over 1 hour, every picture and video that we brought to the audiences, they share our experience as well our friendship that built with all Brazilian friends and families.
It is quite amazing to look at an overview about what we have gone through in 4 weeks GSE program:
Club Visits : 25
Presentation : 22
Vocational Visits : 34
Yes, we have done 34 vocational visits !!! unbelievable. Each of us was hosted by 6-7 families in Brazil.
Once again, this credit all goes to District 4420 - Rotarians, families and friends.
You all are FANTASTIC !!
After our presentation, the Rotary Foundation Chairman - Kenneth Chow was very kind to announce that all GSE members are invited to be the member of Rotary Foundation Alumni Association.
We have the honor to have District Governor Ada Cheng to recognize that with a pin.
In the end, we sincerely thank District Governor Ada Cheng, who built the connection with leaders in rotary District 4420 and made this GSE come true.
