Rotary set me on the course I am still
continuing. If I had not gone to the United
States as an Ambassadorial Scholar, I wouldnt
have pursued the study of international
relations. Sadako Ogata, U. N. High

The GSE program has clearly highlighted to me
that we, as human beings, have basically similar
principles, aspirations, beliefs, and emotions,
even though we belong to different
cultures. GSE Team Member to India

With the Foundations assistance, I have planted
good ideas and they have fallen on receptive
minds. An investment in human beings and

tell them what does anyone hope to get out of
life? Happiness, joy, peace. All I can say is
that we have received far more than we have
given. William Cable, Rotary Volunteer

program was to Rotary, we decided this was the
program we wanted to support. Frank and Mildred
