Rotary receives new lectern as an unexpected gift

Rotary were quick to have money sent directly to the people which enabled them to bring in food, milk for the children, water, temporary cover and medicines.

It was with a great deal of pleasure and surprise that Rotary received a new lectern that had been designed and built by the people of that village.

The unveiling coincided with a visit of the Deputy District Governor Ken Vazquez and his wife Julie.
