More Photos from the “Trip to India”

The Brazilians went to India and they are sparingly parting with the wonderful photographs they took there. Here are some more that Keila Knobel (Spouse to Marcelo Knobel, EF MNP 2007) -
There is no greater measure of success for a program like the fellowship when people from different backgrounds, fields and continents meet
one another again, despite the time lag after an actual event. To sit and listen to the
stories of how Ratish and Marcelo had a Brazilian drink together or how Mandira and Keila
laughed and joked about their work lives and past memories, to me, is significant. It’s symbolic. This is more than about 4 people getting together. It’s more about bringing
people, thoughts, ideas and countries closer.
We’re all envious of the trip but know that each of us who made up the Eisenhower Fellowships Multi Nation Program 2007, were well represented at this reunion! Thanks guys!
Back to Brazil
Author marcelo | 16.10.2007 | Category Brazil, India, Reunions
Dear friends,
We just came back from our long trip to India. The trip was fantastic, and it opened a completely new world for us. We came from another culture, and it is a completely new to experience the amazing cultural diversity and heritage that there is in this wonderful country. Also, the hospitality, the food and the shops (Keila says!) were wonderful ingredients to enjoy the visit.
Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to our fantastic guests, Mandira and Ratish, who made everything to make our visit safe and perfect. We gurantee you that we felt absolutely like at home in their house, which is the best place to stay in Delhi, a truly 6-star hotel!

Knobel’s Go Indian!

And so the Brazillians continue their adventures in New Delhi - Marcelo has rather conveniently missed out his flight and is being forced to spend another evening with the Nanda-Nayyar Family. Of course, we’re all still waiting for the updates and details but here are some photographs that we’ve managed to acquire!
Keep watching for more updates!
Brazil Goes to India!

They’ve done it! They’ve reached! The Knobels have landed in India, only to be warmly and profusely greeting by the Ratish and Mandira! Here’s the proof!
They plan on staying on for about 10 days while Marcelo tends to his hectic schedule of meetings, and the hospitable Indians try and maintain control over their guests who, are no doubt, going to want to get Ratish’s reference for eating out, and Mandira’s help in understanding the crazy world of journalism India.
Stay tuned for more updates right here!
Not One, but TWO reunions in October?!

While Marcelo and Keila Knobel have made their plans to visit India (and Ratish and Mandira) quite public, there has been another reunion in the making.
When I sent out my general email to congratulate Roberto Guerrero about the National Day of Chile, he shocked the socks off me by writing back immediately! And not only that,
News from Brazil…

Dear Friends, I am just testing this wonderful new site that Rabia built. I would strongly ask you to collaborate with news, photos, texts, jokes, and whatever you think it could be interesting to keep us always in touch!
Keila and I are preparing for a trip to India. We will stay there for 14 days, in the first two weeks of october, and we are already following the complex visa process… But we will manage to do it. We have already the tickets, which is a nice begining. It will be wonderful to stay again with Mandira and Ratish. The main problem is that we cannot take the brazilian ice-cream with us….

Marcelo Knobel: The Incredible Experience of Eisenhower Fellowships
Author admin | 01.06.2007 | Category Brazil, Updates
During eight weeks I lived a sort of a dream, one from which it is difficult to wake. I was the Brazilian representative in the Multi Nation Program of Eisenhower Fellowships. Since 1953, this American nonprofit organization has been dedicated to the promotion of peace and understanding through dialogue among potential world leaders. When I tell people about this program, they do not believe me. It is indeed hard to believe, for beyond covering the financial cost of the trip for both me and my spouse, this fellowship allowed me to develop an extensive, personalized program of visits to 11 American cities, where I had more than 90 meetings, conversations and interviews. Besides the travels, I also had the incredible opportunity to meet 24 other Fellows from different countries, different professions, all of them fantastic individuals with an enormous desire to
