This past February, District 4250 in Guatemala provided service opportunities for Rotarians from Club 25, Harbortown and other clubs in our District, to help modernize a school located on the Pacific Ocean side of Guatemala. Jenny Peterson, McKenzie MacFarlane, Mike Cochran and District Governor Deb Warner spent at least a week in Guatemala representing our respective clubs and working on projects there. Guatemalan District Governor Julio Grazioso played a key role in coordinating efforts with our District 5580 Rotarians.
With the recent devastation caused by Volcano Fuego, District Governor Grazioso is helping to raise funds to purchase medical equipment needed by local hospitals. He said recently in a message to our clubs, “it is a very sad and dramatic situation. Many people have lost everything. Local Rotarians are working hard in distributing help. We are working in supplying relief and hope, but mainly in planning for reallocation and reconstruction.”
