On April 2, 2019, Bill Chadwick announced that the Global Grant for our water project has been approved!. Bill has been working on this grant with the Los Amates club for well over a year and is very pleased that we can finally move forward. The work will take place in the community of Pozon.
Pozon is a community of about 2000 people in the Los Amates region of Guatemala. The community will be providing storage and distribution systems worth about $50,000. Our grant includes drilling, pumping equipment, training on maintenance of the infrastructure, and electrical system. The total value of the project is nearly $130,000.
Our club's donation of $1000 has been multiplied exponentially with donations by several other clubs in our District, the Celebration FL Club, the Los Amates Club, District matching funds and finally funds from The Rotary Foundation. The District and Foundation funds are available thanks to Rotarians who donate to the Foundation. Thank you for supporting our Foundation and allowing projects like this one to happen!
