Gjakove Rotary Meeting Photos and Video

On Monday, July 21, the Muscatine and Kosovar youth performed for members of the Gjakove Rotary Club. Since 2005, 5 youth from Gjakove have studied at Muscatine High School as Rotary scholars and two more are expected to arrive in Muscatine in August for the 2008-2009 school year. Muscatine participant Keith Porter is a Rotary member and presented the Gjakove group with a banner from the Muscatine Rotary. He was presented a banner from the Gjakove Rotary in return. Liz Shropshire was also presented a banner as a symbol of thanks for the help she has provided to Gjakove's youth through her program.

Here are some photos and pictures I took with my camera during the meeting (in a dimly lit, sweltering hot room nonetheless).
