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.

Thursday Week 3, April 7
Today we had the opportunity to go by High Speed Train to south of Taiwan. We had sun and nice temperature and nice companions.
One of my wishes was to see more of Taiwan than just the region we visited. Today it came true. Tainan, a city in the southern part was our destination. We passed different landscapes when we went with the high speed train which, by the way, was right on time, clean and very comfortable. More than you expect of Swedish train. In Tainan we visited a temple and I prayed and thanked to the exam God which the temple was for because of my good result at the last exam this week I have been working with when having one or two minutes over. After the temple we went to a historic house that told us about all the different countries which have influence the Taiwanese history. Tainan and the Portuguese had a long relationship and the common goals were the trade and export. We never study the Chinese history in school in Sweden so this was good to know and a refresher of what I have heard before.
