Ted Dodge Shares Adventure in Puerto Penasco, MX

Rotarian Ted Dodge loves humanitarian service as evidenced by his website at www.humanitariantravel.org which not only chronicles his service to date, but invites others to join him in giving “service above self” to those in need around the world.

During his most recent humanitarian service trip to Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, Ted reported to the members of SGR, “on Christmas Day, 21 volunteers gathered at the children’s crisis center where we provided lunch for 28 hungry kids, gave each a backpack which included a toy or a blanket, school supplies and a few articles of clothing.”  Later in the day, at the Community Center, “we provided meals to another 450 people, gave them a backpack, a toy, their choice of a blanket or a stuffed animal, along with school supplies and clothing."

While in Puerto Peñasco, Ted and his merry band of Christmas elves also painted the Community Center kitchen, reception area and computer room before bringing in a dozen or more new chairs.  

It was a wonderful way to spend the holidays and members of SGR are encouraged to check out Ted’s website frequently for trip plans.
