Jordan Close and Rachel Poelzer from the University of Alberta Rotaract Club.
Jordan and Rachel both travelled to Nicaragua to participate in the construction of a community water storage facility in the remote village of Cinco Pinos. The trip was coordinated through the “Roots of Change” organisation in St. Albert and a non profit society in Nicaragua called Fundago.
Fundago identifies worthy projects in Nicaragua and “Roots of Change” fundraises for those projects here in Canada.
Jordan and Rachel travelled to Nicaragua to participate in the grand opening for one of those projects (a community Center” and then to board with a local family and participate in the construction of the community water storage facility in Cinco Pinas.
They gave a very informative and well prepared power point presentation. They talked about the hospitality and generosity of their hosts and the profound differences between their lifestyle and the lifestyle we enjoy in Canada and thanked us for the small contribution that our cub made towards the project.
Once again, we were impressed with the work and the commitment displayed by the Rotaracters.
