  THE GUATEMALA PROJECT

Approximately 3 years ago, the Rotary Club of Hanford was looking for an international project. Another club in our district (Lemoore Rotary) was completing a water project in Guatemala.

Three members from our club tagged along to see the finish of their service project, as well as visit some possible sites for us to consider.

Five trips later, we've grown to a multi-club effort, having successfully finished water, health & sanitation, and scholarship projects, and continuing an annual hands-on trip. Our last project trip numbered 14 traveling participants.

 

First trip, October 2006
 

The following clubs were involved with financial contribution, as hands-on participants or both:

  • The Rotary Club of Hanford
  • The Rotary Club of Monterey International
  • Madera Rotary
  • Coban Rotary
  • Reedley Rotary
  • Tulare Sunrise Rotary Club

Within this website you will find lots of information on past and future projects, as well as sponsorship forms for the scholarship & pila projects. Follow the links to the left of the page to navigate through the site. A live presentation may also be available to your club upon request.

Our next trip is planned for February 28th - March 9th 2010. While there, we will work on our scholarship program, distribute beca bags, and complete the pila project started just this year. It is also possible we will be working on a construction project for one of the elementary schools, but this has yet to be determined.
