Holly - 30 Jan - Rotasia/ TV



1/30- Dhaka (Rotasia Opening Ceremony/ TV station)

This morning we had the Rotasia Opening Ceremony which is for Rotaracts (young rotarians) in South Asia. It's a four day program that takes place once a year. It was a great event, however, we decided we're starting our own foundation for Rotary by charging 100 taka (80 cents) for each picture taken. Our cheeks hurt from smiling, although we know Meredith really enjoys it! ;) jk




Next, we went to a TV News Station where Tonya was featured in a 30 min interview referencing the GSE program and Rotary. Thanks to our wonderful host Fawsia for setting up this live-interview which is the first for any GSE team here in Bangladesh. Fawsia is also the team leader for the Bangladeshi team who will be coming to Arizona in May. So excited to see her then!

We also somehow made the newspaper at Cox's Bazar, however, it's in Bangla so we made up our own story. :)
