Four young business professionals from Kenya, Uganda, and Ethiopia were hosted in the Lamorinda area by the Rotary Club of Moraga. They presented their initial program to that Club on a recent Tuesday. They are members of a Group Study Exchange team that will tour northern California in Rotary District 5160, and will be hosted by various Rotary clubs elsewhere in the District. They will present their program to the Rossmoor, Lafayette, San Ramon Valley and Lamorinda Sunrise Rotary clubs.
The team is led by Kenyan Rotarian Muchau Githiaka, a past president of the Nairobi-Langata Rotary club. Other team members are Luladay Aragaw of Ethiopia, and Sylvia Nakajjugo and Sarah Kasule of Uganda. They will attend and present their program to the District Conference held at the Concord Hilton.
Group Study Exchange is a program of Rotary International to foster peace and international understanding, and in the spring 2009, a team of Americans will tour these East African countries to complete the exchange.
