We have reached the end of our visit to Danville and the surrounding area. As we prepare to leave after our second week in the USA and Rotary District 7570 we look back with appreciation at the GSE Co-ordinators, the Rotarians and our hosts who have made the trip so special thus far.
It was great to be back together today as we were taken to the Danville Community College were we the guest lecturers for an Economics class. Then we moved onto Averett College where our charming guide Megan showed us around before a sumptuous meal in the Averett dining hall. It was a lovely surprise to meet up with Dean Loock from Grahamstown who is at Averett College on a Tennis Scholarship. That was followed by a walk along the Dan river on a trail developed by the resources and labour of the Rotary Club of Danville-Riverview.
The GSE experience has shown us how our hosts and guides put their lives on hold to fetch and carry us and to show us around. We are surely experiencing the famous Southern Hospitality at its best!
