On Monday this one-month journey through Rotary District 1380 of Finland will come to an end. It has been a truly amazing experience. We have seen and done so much that would no be possible without the help of Rotary and Rotarians, and the GSE program. We have a acquired a knowledge of this area of the world and it's people that could not be obtained simply by travelling through.
What has struck me the most about the people I've met in the past month is their kindness and humbleness. Everyone welcomed us into their lives wholeheartedly and bent over backwards to make things possible for us. Thanks so much to all my host families who were kind beyond words: Jan-Erik and Nina, Anu-Liisa and Asko, Riita-Liisa and Pertti, and Juha and Erja. Thanks to you, I've learned what life is like in this part of Finland. I've made many new and amazing friends this past month. As a GSE team, the many experiences we have had have brought us closer together. We will never forget this time we've shared. We will all come away from this experience as better people, because we have truly experienced kindness, teamwork, adventure, and friendship. Thank you so much to everyone who has made this unforgettable experience a reality!
