Rotary in Huatulco, Mexico
Message from President Darcy Johnson (from vacationing in Huatulco, Mexico):
 
I was invited by the Rotary Club of Huatulco to join them for Kings Day in the village of Los Creacion.
When we arrived we were greeted by all the students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 and their mothers.
We served them cake and refreshments. We then handed out toys and candy to every child.
This is why I am a Rotarian. I feel very blessed to have had this experience.
 
Using Wheelchairs in Guatemala
The Power of Chairs.  Watch this wonderful PBS video about a group in Guatemala - Transiciones - that make wheelchairs for disabled people.  The people making the wheelchairs are using them while they work.  The bravery of these people is amazing.
 
This is a program that our Club has been supporting for years.
