Project Amigo
This is another feel good story from one of our Rotary members; Carol Zemp.
Recently she had the ability to travel to Mexico for a week and work with other Rotarian's from around the world with another of our Rotary projects--Project Amigo.
Project Amigo's mission is all about empowering more children and encouraging them to get an education so they can help themselves and their family out of poverty. It's main headquarters is in Cofradia de Suchitlan; 2 hours outside of Manzanillo.
Project Amigo is a week long Rotary sponsored ship that supports students from Colima, Mexico, helping them reach their own educational aspirations and better the quality of life for themselves and their families. Project Amigo helps remove the financial barriers to education through scholarships that help cover school fees, transportation, uniforms, school supplies and a hot lunch for each individual. The staff are wonderful and amazing and provide tutoring and mentorship to the kids.
Carol and the team of rotarian's during their week helped paint and resurface the schools, both for the younger kids as well as the college dorms. They experienced fresh picked coffee at a jungle house cafe, handed out clothing and took a large group of 200+ to the beach.
