Group Study Exchange Tour 2010

What's This About??? I'm Nerys Rudder and I've been chosen by the Rotary Club of Barbados to participate in a cultural and vocational visit to Oregon and North California. This blog is my take on the whole affair.

Not Quite The Beginning


Welcome All to my first blog, I'm known as a pretty chatty person, so hopefully that will translate well to this medium.

For those that don't know I am Nerys Rudder and I am one of the participants of the Rotary International Group Study Exchange 2010 of District 7030 (Eastern Caribbean) visiting District 5110 (Oregon USA) in late April to May. I am representing the country Barbados and more specifically the Rotary Club of Barbados, the oldest of three on the island.

This isn't quite the beginning of the story because we were chosen during a fun but intense weekend in November 2009, where I got to meet a whole 'passel' of young, interesting Caribbean business people - a group who I am very pleased to have been a part of. In the intervening months my team and I have really bonded, despite the physical distance between us.

My team consists of Leisl, a fellow Bajan, Melissa from Trinidad, Olivier from Martinique and Ine, our Team Leader from Suriname. Now you know the cast of characters, I can't wait to see how the story goes...

Until next time.
