Edward De Aquilera, Chief Development Officer of Project Amigo (projectamigo.org) enthusiastically told us about this Mexican project. Founded by Rotarians 30 years ago who saw the need to educate children of migrant farmers,  the three Boards in the USA (fundraising), Canada (fundraising), and Mexico (schools/education) consist of 90% Rotarians. Project Amigo provides uniforms and school supplies, and convinces parents of the long term advantage of leaving children in school rather than working laboriously at the fields. Sponsors (“godparents”) are very important to the children's growth and everyone is welcome to visit during their scheduled Humanitarian Service Weeks.
