Our speaker this Friday will be Jorge Coromac, with Woodland Public Charity and also an Honorary Member of Lenexa Rotary.
He will be speaking to us about the SMNW Interact trip to Puerto Rico.
Woodland Public Charity became involved in Central-South America and the Caribbean in 2002, to address the worldwide crisis of lack of access to education, health and safe drinking water.
Ongoing community participatory programs have been established to respond to these critical needs working closely with the local leaders and families of Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Mexico and Panama.
The goal of the program is to facilitate education, health, nutrition, dental care, neonatal care, and access to safe drinking water.
Woodland Public Charity achieves this through:
Developing capacity in the community
Community engagement
Self-sustainable programs
Strong partnerships and volunteer opportunities
Woodland Public Charity is a non-profit organization based in Kansas City, Missouri.

Mark your calendar for ShrimpFest 2026 - it will be here before you know it! This is Lenexa Rotary's BIGGEST fundraiser of the year and we need ALL MEMBERS to be involved.
Reminder -- each member is REQUIRED to buy/sell 10 tickets. Tedd Maxfield will be distributing tickets to members in early January.
As you may know, fellow Lenexa Rotarian Milton Jeffery is from Jamaica and still has family there who fortunately survived the Hurricane Melissa. In alignment with our past efforts to support hurricane-affected communities, the Lenexa Rotary Foundation has approved a Pass-Through Grant to raise funds for Heart to Heart International. These funds will specifically help them provide essential hygiene kits in Jamaica.
If you would like to donate, please make your check payable to the Lenexa Rotary Foundation. You can give your donation directly to Phil Hammond, Alan Kruckemyer, or Amy Ruo.
We look forward to participating in another hands-on hygiene kit building project next year.
