From Canada to India

Sukhbir Singh Hanspal, center, from ­Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, poses with members of the ISC Bhopal Toastmasters International club in Bhopal, India. Hanspal contacted the club before his vacation to India and in turn was invited to its 200th anniversary meeting. Pictured are awards for the members as mementos for the special occasion. “I wanted to observe and compare their meetings with those we have in District 86,” Hanspal says. “Amazingly, I found them to be exactly the same. All speeches were done in English (with good command of the English language) and the subject matters (stories and humor) were excellent.” Hanspal finished his visit by giving an impromptu speech.
