Seventh Guatemala Water & Sanitation Project Completed
Rick and Elin Lawrence Celebrate Completion of Seventh Rotary Water and Sanitation Project
On February 11th, the villagers of El Pericon, Guatemala welcomed Rick and Elin Lawrence to a day-long celebration marking the completion and dedication of their village's water, sanitation and indoor cookstove improvements. This is the seventh such project financed by clubs in District 7890 and 7950. Every year, more clubs from District 7890 have added their support for these projects, and clubs from other Districts have started to contribute as well. This additional support has enabled larger and larger villages to be involved and reap the benefits of securing clean, running water, solid sanitation units and well-vented, raised indoor stoves. Congratulations to Rick Lawrence, member of the Rotary Club of Manchester, CT, and his wife, Elin, for personally supporting and being ambassadors for these valuable projects that change the world, one village at a time.
Rick and members of the village Water Committee highlights a plaque with the names of the participating Rotary clubs, which will be permanently cemented onto a concrete pedestal benerath the water storage tank.
