On November 26 a team of Rotarians from New Jersey and Kansas traveled to Mexico City to unify efforts with Chapultepec Rotary Club to support the implementation of the Xochimilco and Mexico City Global Grant.
Lenexa Rotarian and PDG Greg Peterson along with PDG Tim Datig met with Past President Lic. Oscar Rivera to coordinate the implementation of the Global Grant.
During the trip, 200 water filters were distributed in 5 different communities. Chapultepec Rotary Club and USA Rotarians will continue the implementation of the Global Grant in 2019.
Children and families expressed deepest gratitude for the distribution of water filters. Contaminated water is a challenge in the communities of Mexico City and Xochimilco and by distribution the water filters families will be able to improve the health condition.
Around 27 local leaders, teacher and Rotarians receive basic training in regards to the uses and maintenance of the water filters, importance of safe drinking water, hand washing and personal hygiene.
