Aleph Fackenthall gave us his annual report on his work with The Healing Fund and its Panama water project. Our club has provided funding in the past and one of our former members, Wally Thomas went with the team a few years ago.

 

The fund sends individuals to Panama to install water catchment systems and drill wells.  They also provide medical and dental care to the communities.  Stanwood Rotary has also partnered with The Healing Fund in years past.  The past president of the Stanwood club has gone to assist drilling and installation. 

 

This year they rechecked wells dug in previous years and went to a new location to help other communities. 

 

The next trip will be March 30^th to do more latrine work and have a youth focus.  Approximately twelve youngsters will be going on the trip.  Contact Aleph if you would like to go on this or a future trip.
