What an experience! Here, in India, the District Conference is very well attended. 1500 people were in attendance for our presentation. To keep the interest of everyone there are other things in the agenda other than just Rotary related presentations. A famous, award winning actor, Nana Patekar, from Pune was interviewed BUT unfortunately this was done in the local language. Everyone in the audience seemed to be very interested and inspite of the fact that he went overtime there was no move to stop him from speaking which was not the case in other instances.
There was an very interesting presentation by 14 year old Yugratna Srivastav from India. She talked about "Saving our Planet" 2 years ago she addressed the UN. She was the second young person to do this. I believe the first was Ryan Hreljac of Ryan's Well from my home town of Kemptville, Ontario Canada. What an outstanding pair of young people. She spoke with great confidence about global warming and the impact on the world.
