So did GSE on 17th May 2010. There were many touching moments and good byes from those who supported us. Its heartening to see how quickly relationships build up and how fast human hearts engage in the process of bonding. We were all there at the district conference and enjoyed the show at the conference, but the moment of departure was, I should say, a bit confused. We didnt know if we were happy to leave home after 40 days or were sad because we were all going away from a wonderful set of people.
We knew that the parting was only temporary. That we would be in touch using many communication devices and media that are at our disposal today. That these bonds can be leveraged to do things that can bring about a better world around us for everyone. Some photographs and a bit of comments below. As usual, I will let the photos talk.

Going to the Rim of the Canyon - We were stationed at the Rim, so that many people could meet us and talk to us - We took the opportunity to give away our contact information to as many Rotarians as possible!
