Caballeros y Senoritas,
According to Dan Strobell who oversees SGR's international service project, another fantastic trip to Guatemala is in the works for May 27 - June 4, 2017. If you are interested in supporting St. George Rotary Club’s international service project – now in its 12th year – we are looking for additional funding or more “boots on the ground” helping us build stoves for Mayan women!
For your planning:
1. AreoMexico is the airline we recommend since it is – at about $400 roundtrip – almost $200 cheaper than any other airline. Just remember to get your boarding pass for Mexico City in Las Vegas. Flight numbers will be determined soon.
2. We will work in the villages and be done on Wednesday. Thursday through Sunday we will probably be in Lake Atitlan where there are zip lines, volcano hikes, nearby opportunities to explore Mayan ruins or you might prefer to take a Mayan cooking class we are told is excellent! You would get the chance to go to the market place where you buy the produce, then you learn how to cook it.
3. We are also considering renting a large house with a cook like we have done in the past (not the same house) but one on the lake where we can swim, kayak, etc.
4. Let us know if you have a special project we can help with so we can make any necessary arrangements. So far we will be involved in providing dentistry, training midwives on how to revive newborns, working at schools, eye exams and distribution of eye glasses as well as beans and rice to villagers.

Fernando (our driver) needs to know how many of us there will be so we can get a larger van, if needed.
If your club – or you individually – would like to contribute to this great Rotary project; or, if you would like to come along, please contact Dan Strobell at (435) 229-7194 or by email to strobelldan@gmail.com.
Thank you in advance for your support. You are changing the world for the better.
Saludos a todos.
