Projects in Mexico
School Supplies and Humanitarian Aid
2001-2007
In 2001 through 2007, Metro Rotary joined this district project to serve the Chihuahuan community of Madera in the Sierra Madre mountains by providing school supplies for one of their elementary schools. The project was coordinated with the Rotary Club of Madera. Further south in the community of Creel near the Copper Canyon, the project worked with the Tarahumara Indians and the local Jesuit padre to support the Tarahumara Children's Hospital and provide humanitarian aid to the nearby Tarahumara villages of Choguita and Recogochi.
