Supporting Group Study Exchange to Alaska - a maternal medicine focussed group



Group Study Exchange is a vocationally based exchange of young professionals between two countries.  This year the exchange is between  District 9920, New Zealand and District 5010 Alaska USA and Yukon Canada .  The team is made up of maternal and child health professionals. A member of our club, Paul, is on the organising committee.


The team from Alaska talked to the club last week and a summary of their talk is in the bulletin click here

The RC St Johns has sponsored one of the outbound team members - Laura Barkwill (Clinical Psychologist)  who will visit the club after her return.

GSE is the only Rotary programme that Rotarians or their families cannot apply for - in all other cases involvement by Rotary families is encouraged.  The team is lead by a Rotarian.
