I received the proposed GSE program from our host district today. It arrived by email from DG Nalin. This is very exciting. Like team member Chris said - "it seems official now". I also learned today that our plane tickets are issued. That makes things "really official."
We will be staying - in this order - in the cities of Colombo, Ratnapura, Bandarawela, Nuwara Eliya, Kandy, Kurunegala, Wariyapola, and then back to Colombo. We're scheduled to meet the US Ambassador and visit the South Coast cities of Hikkaduwa and Galle. There is a day scheduled for us to share vocational knowledge with school children and we will participate in a Rotary Quiz Competition. We will visit gem museums and gem mines, a tea factory, the Temple of the Tooth Relic, an elephant orphanage, and more! They have even slated time for us to watch the Super Bowl! All this on top of nine club visits, multiple vocational visits, and the District Conference! WOW - what a schedule our hosts have prepared for us. Many, many thanks to our hosts for the significant time and energy they put into planning our visit.
