District Grant Proposal Submitted

On May 24, President-Elect Jason Beever and Vice President Bill Chadwick signed our District Grant proposal.  The project proposes to bring sustainable health care to the roughly 800 indigenous people in the villages of the Cuatro Cayos region of Guatemala through the purchase of a Bell Portable Dental Surgery Unit and a Medical Trauma Bag complete with supplies.

 

This project builds on the previous work of Wayne Lopez, Bill Chadwick and many others from the Stroudwater Christian Church, and the relationships they have built with local people and organizations.  In fact, Bill was instrumental in the forming of a new Rotary Club in the area with which we propose to work, Los Ametes Rotary Club #81824, Guatemala. 

 

We are hopeful that our proposal will be accepted and funded for about $9800. If funded, the work will take place in February 2017.
