I love this photo of a horse walking “. . . in a field covered by volcanic ash from Chilean volcano Puyehue, near Villa Llanquin, a hamlet along route 40 on the banks of Limay river, 50 km from Bariloche, in the Argentine province of Rio Negro, on June 17, 2011. The ash cloud from Chile’s Puyehue volcano caused widespread travel chaos in the southern hemisphere since it erupted for the first time on June 4 after lying dormant half a century.” (rancisco Ramos Mejia/AFP/Getty Images)
Nature has a way of changing the way we perceive things, which is good.

Anyone who has every been part of a Group Study Exchange (GSE) generally will sum up the experience as “a trip of a lifetime.” How can it not be when everyone involved does his or her utmost to make the exchange a success? 
Our most recent exchange has been with Rotary District 4920 in Argentina. “What a team!” Friendly, polite, eloquent, full of life, inquisitive, responsible, reflective, professional, are just a few words that describe this beautiful team from Argentina. Many of us would love to be returning with them this Wednesday (May 6, 2009).
It is said that people can be can be divided into three groups:
• A few people make it happen;
• A lot of people watch it happen;
• And the rest don’t even know what happen.
Obviously those involved with GSE make it happen! To our friends from Argentina — may our friendship guide our continuing process of becoming. Although we may be apart, like the strings on a guitar, we vibrate to the same music.

Rotary District 5910 will be hosting a Group Study Exchange (GSE) team from District 4920 in Argentina for the next month. The team of four young professionals lead by a Rotarian, arrived this past Monday morning on the same flight as our team returning after one month in Argentina. Today, I had an opportunity to take photos of their presentation to the Rotary Club of The Woodlands. This GSE team is very personable and eager to learn about southeast Texas and share vocational and cultural information with us. Members of the Rotary Club of The Woodlands were very impressed with this visiting GSE team.
