Many thanks, Carole. Unfortunately, I have to send my apologies - but I would like to compliment you on this stunning opening program for this Rotary Year. I am in the U.S. right now, traveling California together with my son Mark David. I will be back to Nairobi in the first week of August.

Kind regards from Los Angeles,

Stefan
