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.

Tuesday week 1
Weather changed from 29 to 12 degrees and the wind is around 20m/s, from NW so not coming from Japan and the disasters there. Team-leader to visit a Water cleaning plant for an industrial park and have lunch with leading people of the local 2 million community.
A tour to a temple, Japanese restaurant and hot springs was the schedule for Frida today and the tour guides were lovely women working as nurses, teachers and yoga instructor. Today I got a lesson in old Taiwanese history, religion and how important Chinese medicine is for many people in Taiwan. The view and approach to the body and how you can help the body and get energy by using both Western medicine and Chinese traditions fascinate me.
