Clean water for Christmas!

Our Global Grant in partnership with Centerville-Farmington Rotary Club, Roosevelt and Vernal Rotary Clubs is moving forward. Our $3,000 investment from our Wine into Water fundraiser will yield $40,000 in clean water and sanitation projects in Guatemala.

Here is a message from Lois Werner, Executive Director of People for Guatemala, the cooperating organization on the Global Grant:

Yesterday Amilcar, Flor, Erick, Otto (Mayor of San Martin) and I met with the entire community.  See attached photo.  At the meeting one of the members of the water committee did role call of all 250 families to take attendance.   Everyone received the good news that their project was approved.  

Their expressions changed from worried to elated!  Next Tuesday there will be an all-community meeting to organize the work groups and start the project.  The goal is to have running water at every home by Christmas.  

What a great project!  Thank you for ALL of your help.  


Lois
