Global travelers Mission trip to Costa Rica
On Saturday, March 15, 2025 Judy Johnson a member of the Rotary club of Maple Grove flew to San Jose, Costa Rica for a two-week mission/play vacation with several Rotarians. This trip was organized by Steve Laible from the Brooklyn Park Rotary. This will be my third international trip with Steve and his wife, Nancy. Previous trips were to Bangladesh and Cuba. Other travelers were Gennett (my roommate), Martha (translator), Raydeene, Dana and Roz.  Steve organizes these trips through a Rotary group called the Global Travelers.
 
This traveling group also worked in collaboration with the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army helps the poorest of the poor. On Sunday, we went to a SA church service. There were Venezuelan refugees there which were rejected by the USA but Costa Rica took in these homeless souls. Our first event was to Camp Penuel. This is a free camp for poor children. It is Christian based and accepts all children. Children learn about God and unconditional love, and skills such as taking care of farm animals and gardening. It was started by Paul Bernhagen who is from Minnesota. He bought beautiful land in Costa Rica and built this camp. Rotary funding helped to build a gazebo. Steve brought the Salvation Army folks here and perhaps Bernhagen and SA can partner together to bring refugees here for a reprieve.

Sew-A-thon with City of Lakes Rotary
The Rotary Club of Maple Grove in collaboration with the Mpls City of Lakes Rotary club put on a sew-a-thon to make feminine hygiene kits to be sent to girls in developing countries on February 1st.

A huge thank you to over 60 members and guests who assembled feminine hygiene kits for girls in developing countries to help them stay in school, and shatter stigma and limitations.   

Consider:   How many School Days would you lose?   

What if you had to miss school because you did not have proper menstrual supplies? How many days per year would you lose in education simply because you got your period? What if no one ever taught you about menstruation, or worse: if menstrual taboos and myths made you feel

Khankari Honorary Membership in India
We would like to recognize our Rotary Club of Maple Grove member Raj Khankari, who was inducted as an honorary member of the Rotary Club of Thana West in India.  Raj has collaborated with this club over the past 5 years with recognizing the water needs of the small hamlets in this country. He presented this project to the club for support and  over 5 years has secured 10 Global Grants totaling over $847,00.  The farmers need for water and the recognition of the girls and women who had to transport water everyday for the village, prevented them from attending school.  Many dams and check dams are now helping the villagers with sustainable water.  He has also worked on medical grants valued at $342,000 to  provide pediatric surgery for infants, cancer screenings and blood banks. 
The recognition from the Thana can be viewed on the left tool bar.
