Speaker Recap March 18, 2016

Making Things Better in Guatemala

Jeannine Desautels, Mary Van Hout, and Dean Ryerson spoke of their recent Rotary trip to Guatemala, supporting the Guatemala Medical Resources Partnership (GMRP) of the Thiensville-Mequon Rotary Clubs. In an impoverished area in southern Guatemala, Rotarians have brought hope and material assistance in terms of orphanage support with sustainable agriculture projects (including chickens and turkeys), with medical and dental assistance from 45 volunteers seeing 780 patients over 4 1/2 days, and with life-changing scholarships through the Oliveros Scholarship Fund -- 60 scholarships for K-12 and 4 scholarships for college. Great work, to include raucous water balloon fights with the kids.
