Guatemala Stove Project
EXCITING NEWS! Rotary International has approved our District Grant for the Guatemala Stove Project. Once all contributions from participating clubs and HDR members have been collected, the funds will be disbursed to the Guatemala East Rotary, which has designated a specific bank account for the stove project. The Guatemala East Rotary Treasurer will process the invoices and provide receipts to donors.

The Chapina Bonita Stove Project has been the HDR’s international project since 2017. Our Guatemalan contact, Carlos Galvez, has installed over 10,000 stoves, and he requires additional funding to continue his work. The District Grant presented an excellent opportunity to secure the necessary financial support.
 
We kindly request your support for our project and for Carlos's invaluable contributions in the Villages. To express our gratitude for his efforts in improving the health and well-being of numerous families, we encourage 100% participation in this fundraising initiative.

Your contributions, regardless of the amount, will be recorded on the Grant Proposal and serve as a testament to your commitment to our international project. 
Donations can be made via cash, check, or credit card. If you prefer to make a credit card donation, Julie Heifner will provide you with a link to pay via QuickBooks.
A clipboard will be passed around at our next two meetings.
 
We sincerely appreciate your support and contributions. Together we are CREATING LASTING CHANGE.
