Inter-country committees promote contact between districts and

understanding among the people of various nations.
Rotarians are encouraged to create new inter-country committees to
foster stronger ties between Rotarians, clubs, and districts from different
countries and establish networks across borders, continents, and oceans.
Inter-country committees should be promoted at RI, district and club
meetings. (June 2007 Mtg., Bd. Dec. 281)

Letter of Steffan Wolf - participant of exchange
I really had a wonderful time in Poland and I come
back with totally different view of your wonderful
country.
So – that’s what it is about – get to know the real
way of living of people in a country and not only
believe what you hear.
I want to thank Rotary for giving me the chance to
get to know my neighbors.
