On 17 September 2026, Menengai joined a 10-day Friendship Exchange in India through President Wanjiku. She travelled as part of a six-person delegation from Rotary District 9215, with a programme across Mumbai, Palghar and Pune.

Families welcomed the delegates into their homes. Time with hosts, Rotary meetings and Rotaract fellowship gave the visitors a chance to share club experiences and learn how fellow members organised their work. Letterhead exchanges marked those meetings between clubs.

During the visit, club presidents exchanged official club letterheads. For Menengai, the exchange marked friendship across borders and an opportunity to share culture, ideas and approaches to service with fellow Rotaract clubs.

The visit also included Ganpati celebrations, university visits, historic sites, temples and beaches. These encounters placed the fellowship alongside the places and traditions of the communities receiving the delegation.

What the exchange brought to Menengai

For Menengai, Wanjiku’s participation brought the club into direct fellowship with Rotary and Rotaract members in India. The exchange created personal connections through shared homes, club meetings and cultural visits, with host families central to the experience.
