This weekend our group of American students participated in the international relations night at a local Rotary Club in Kolkata (the second oldest rotary club in Kolkata to be exact). We participated by singing our national anthem, describing what peace means to us, and talking about Minnesota and our college. They seemed very excited to have us and were very thankful to our political science teacher and study abroad coordinator at St Xavier's, Panchali, who helped to organize our participation in the event. The rotary club that we attended also turned 56 that night and they had a huge cake to celebrate, which we all got to partake in (and I was mighty happy because it was the best cake I have had in India and the man gave me a second slice of cake). We all benefited from the night and it was another successful event for the 2012 CSBSJU India students.
