OUR GUEST SPEAKER Bruce Hobin

Project Amigo

Bruce Hobin and his wife Kate spent the week of February 19-26 in Suchitlan near the city of Colima, Mexico volunteering during Canadiana Week at Project Amigo. There were 11 other Rotarians and non-Rotarians participating in the week’s activities as well. Bruce will highlight the various week’s events with the student’s (pre-school to secondary).

To better understand Project Amigo, here is its Mission Statement:

To enable the disadvantaged and marginalized youth of Suchitlan, Colima, Mexico to achieve their highest potential by providing educational opportunities, material support and enrichment activities; to provide opportunities for volunteers to help and build relationships with Project Amigo youth in Mexico and to foster friendship and understanding between Rotarians, friends and organizations from developed countries and from within Mexico.
