CSRC helps local artisan's fair

Posted by Barb Wilson on Nov 10, 2019

Nine Rotarians pitched in with a lot of physical labor to help take down the booths, tables and chairs at the annual Feria de Los Maestros. The coordinator of the Feria was very appreciative of our willingness to do the unglamorous job of "clean up", especially when the other volunteers were exhausted after three days of work.

Other Rotarians also pitched in over the three days weekend by hosting artists for 3 days at their homes, announcing ( bilingually) stage events, and helping with admissions. Truly a weekend of "Service above Self".

Aipromades and Rotarians teach about garbage

Posted by Barb Wilson

Our environmental partner, Aipromades, is following through on a commitment to our "adopted village" Ojo de Agua. In a community assessment last October, villagers identify clean water and sanitation as their top priorities. We are providing workshops for villagers and kids, over 5 Saturdays, on the identification, collection, disposal, recycling, composting possibilities in the village.

We donate 20,000 MXP for play area roof to local school

Posted by Barb Wilson on Sep 28, 2019

On September 27th, our Club donated 20,000 pesos to Escuela Foraneh #1 Jose Vasconcelos in Chapala for a permanent playground roof that protects from the rain and sun as students play and assemble outside. This secondaria (middle) school is inner city with little space for students to congregate outside the classroom. The parent club has been working for three years to raise the funds for this project and our donation gets them nearly to the top. We hope that other like minded people and clubs will donate to help finish off this project.
