On Feb. 20, 2020, two members on of the Templeton Club and six members of the Paso Robles Noon Club traveled to Costa Rica, to partner with The Rotary Club of Alajuela in hosting several humanitarian projects.

 

The group spent several days at different locations for vision clinics giving out 670 eyeglasses for those in need. At one of the locations, a local Salvation Army pre school, the Paso Robles club donated money for school supplies. Templeton Rotarains Will van Kranenburg and Georgia Vreeken donated a projector to be used as a learning aid. Between the two projects, locals donated over $2,600 of Club and personal funds to the effort.

 

This was a joint effort with The Rotary Club of Alajuela who coordinated the logistics of the projects. This small Costa Rican club of 22 members has done some really great work in their country.  A joy to work with.
