The mission of the Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. Our VTT team left Sweden and Rotary district 2360 on the 19th of Mars for a VTT exchange with Rotary District 3500 in Taiwan. The exchange will continue for 4 weeks and the team will return to Sweden in mid April. Our focus area for this VTT team is Economic and Community Development.

Saturday week 1
The whole day was spent at the Flower Expo under professional guide by two girls that were so patient with us, they were great. The Rotary club filled a whole bus going there and the day was a success. The area is as big as 65 soccer fields. In the parks you would also find inventive ideas like the house built from PET bottles.
All we are faced with the same dilemma. How can we reduce our emissions. Inventiveness is big in Taiwan how to create new keys and solutions. For example use recycled things as new materials and the house made of PET bottle is one idea. Saving and using energy in other ways is another. All the park with the flowers was both entertainment but also a reminder at the different stops that our resources are finite.
