CORRESPONDENCE:
Dear Rotary,
Thank you for the lovely plant. I've never seen a giant cyclamid before and it is beautiful. I hope I can keep it blooming a long time.
I am already returning to my old self and should be there in the next few weeks.
MARTHA (CHISCON)

From Ambassadorial Scholar Siham Erragh:

I will start my work in the city (New York) for the first rotation in one week, I am really excited! In the meantime I am going to start driving classes and pass the written test.
I can't believe I am here in the city with a unique professional opportunity and all this has been made possible with the support of the Rotary Foundation and the Rotarians. I feel really privileged.
