Visiting Danish Rotary GSE team
Rotary International have a scheme, abbreviated as GSE (group study exchange) where a team of up to 5 young adults, aged in their late 20s or 30s, visit a country to expand their knowledge in their chosen vocational area. It was Hawkes Bay’s turn to be the last stay for a team of 4 Danes from Aarhus on the east side of Denmark, plus their leader, Kjeld. The engineer and I were fortunate to host Helle Fabian, a teacher from Skanderborg, for 4 nights. We shared school and teachers’ stories, joined on Saturday night by daughter Kate, also a teacher. Our club organised activites including a cycle along the Rotary pathway
Mette, Peter, Claus, Kjeld and Helle
visiting Cape Kidnapper’s private wildlife sanctuary, where they were able to witness the release of 44 endangered Blue ducks and saw close up, a Kiwi. Included in their visit was wine tasting at Te Mata wines and cheese tasting at the Te Mata cheese factory. All in all, a very successful and rewarding time with visitors from the other side of the world.
