Rotary Santa Maria South members will once again be traveling to villages in La Paz, Mexico to assist students there in their scholastic endeavors. From October 17 - 22, 2013, RSMS Club President Ken Parker, champion of the club's international service project in La Paz, and President Elect Nominee (PEN) Peter Garcia will visit La Paz to see the set-up of the computer lab Rotary Santa Maria South sponsored as a joint project with other clubs, including the Rotary Club of Santa Maria, the Nipomo Rotary and sister club Bahia de La Paz Club Rotario, located in La Paz, Baja Mexico. The $25,000 Rotary grant also supported related software and internet licenses, bringing internet to the Colonia Diana Laura School for the first time.

 

The Bahia de La Paz Club Rotario will accompany Ken and Peter in a review of the grant project's progress and an evaluation of further needs. Thank you, Ken Parker, for leading this wonderful club effort for so many years now!
