Comments By Dr. Doraiswamy On Hiis Return to U.S.
Dear Rajesh,

I hope that this is what you wanted. Please feel free to edit the text to suit your purpose.

I consider myself as a lucky Rotarian to have had the opportunity to serve as a GSE team leader from District 7930 Boston to District 3150 Hyderabad,Overall our team members' general feeling was positive. I was privileged to be the guest in your home. Your family and you treated me as a family member. The cultural and vocational experience while in your home, made me aware of Indian culture and hospitality than ever before.  I am ever grateful for this.

My team members have had similar experience with their host families.  I personally witnessed the warmth and congeniality along with lots offunand laughter, while travelling as a group to various places.  All the members of your Club were extremely pleasant, jovial and made sure that our comfort was looked after.  Because of age difference between the team leader and the team members, there were times when the generation gap put us to tasks.  As a team, I hope I managed the tasks well without treading on too many toes!
From my perspective, as a team leader, I had to be the liaison between my team members and the Host Club via the President of the Club.
As a member of the US Delegation, we were very focused on control of time and schedule.  I found that as a team our focus was more on vocational the cultural experience.  Of course, over time this gradually changed and was understood by my team.
One way to avoid such differences may be to emphasis mostly cultural aspects and only a minor part for the vocational theme while selecting members for the team.
The other issue is the hierarchical structure of the Rotary which should be emphasised to all host families and members involved in the programme.  This hopefully would avoid minor conflicts between The Team Members and the Team Leader.
Regards and best wishes,
Doraiswamy.
