Exchanges are based on hospitality and mutual hosting, allowing participants to stay with local Rotarian families, discover their country from a local perspective, and, most importantly, build lasting international friendships. It is a wonderful example of how Rotary brings people together across borders through fellowship, cultural understanding, and shared values.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Following Bulgarian tradition, our Egyptian guests received a warm welcome at the airport with bread, salt, and honey \u2013 a traditional Bulgarian gesture symbolising hospitality, friendship, and wishes for a sweet and prosperous stay.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This meeting marked the official beginning of the exchange and the start of an incredible week in Bulgaria. During their stay, our guests had the opportunity to discover Bulgarian culture, traditions, and hospitality, meet fellow Rotarians, and take part in various activities, including a visit to the District President-Elect Training Seminar (PETS).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We were truly happy to share Bulgaria with our fellow Rotarians from Egypt and to strengthen the bonds of friendship between our two Rotary Districts, in true Rotary spirit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more information, contact us at <a
