Buenos dias

Good morning,
As the team have said we have moved to our second area and again have been recieved really well by the new families every one is keen to make us feel at home and we feel very spoilt with attention. I could get very used to having all my meals provided and my every need anticipated in advance but with this we are treated as part of the family and made to feel very comfortable. As you have read we have had lots of visits which have been amazing and very interesting we have all gained professionally from these as well as understanding how the country works.  Last night we did our presentation to the Rotary Club of General Rodrigues it was a large meeting with families attending as well. Our presentation seemed to be well received though it is hard to keep to times when you have an interpreter! They seemed very interested in our work and were asking many questions about Rotary in England and especially the Rotary Club of Marlow Thames obviously! They were amazed at how many women members we have and questioned me many times, I think they thought my answer was confused by my lack of spanish comprehension but no we really do have many women in our club!
Today we have had a fantastic vocational day with all our needs being met. We started the morning by visiting the Major, he was keen to show us the best that his city has and with the support of our new Rotarian freinds we did this to the full.  I need to say now what a star Elena (I hope that is how you spell your name) has been. She has translated solidly scince we arrived here and has allowed us to ask the questions that make our vocational exchanges more meaningfull. I cannot praise or thank her enought. Following our majors reception we went to visit a centre for disabled adults. This was amazing and they seemed delighted to see us. One lovely guy, mingo , realised that it was the day of the wedding of Kate and William but was very concerned about the tornado because he thought it may ruin the day he was very pleased to hear that London was not near the tornado!  At this centre they made food for local people and complete work supported by local companies. We also visted a school for children with social and emotional difficulties. It was very ninteresting to hear about projects so similar to my own work and we were all very touched by the things we saw.  The team will update you on the other projects that we saw related to their fields of work but for me there was one further highlight in this very busy day and this was a visit to the Argentinian polo team training ground. We watched two of the horses in training though at a long distance but still a good way to finish the day.
