Matt Loch received the following letter and wanted to pass it along. It matches up well with our existing interest in Guatemala.
My name is John Hunt, and I am a past District Governor and member of the Rotary Club pf Ohio Pathways (D6600). Joe Berninger, founder of the Guatemala Literacy Project (GLP), and I are organizing Rotary service trips to Guatemala and we are looking for interested Rotarians.
The GPL is the largest grassroots, multi-club, multi-district effort in the Rotary world not directed by Rotary International itself- the "gold standard" of Rotary projects, according to former RI President Ian Riseley. Over 600 Rotary clubs from 8 countries have participated in the GP: since its inception in 1996. GPL Textbook, Computer, Teacher Training, and Youth Development programs currently serve more than 50,000 impoverished children.
We need Rotarians to join the following service trips to Guatemala:
- July 21 - 27, 2019
- July 30 - August 4, 2019
- November 14 - 17, 2019
- February 1 - 9, 2019
- February 18 - 23, 2019
- July 12 - 18, 2020
- July 21 - 26, 2020
These trips offer a variety of experiences: Some are longer or shorter; some more "hands-on" - and all of them give you the opportunity to be a meaningful part of Rotary's work fighting poverty in Guatemala. Please visit the Project's website for more details.
Could you share this opportunity with members of your club?
If you have any can email me at info@guatemalalitericy.org
Yours in Rotary Service,
