Club members are helping me to contact Rotary Clubs all along my route from Maine to Guatemala. We are arranging for me to stop during the expedition and to give talks at weekly Rotary Club meetings. I'll share the stories of the children, mothers and new model School at Safe Passage. I'll see if they want to join other Rotary Clubs in working on a Global Grant application to The Rotary Foundation, to support education in the Guatemala City garbage dump community, working with Safe Passage as our cooperating organization.
For those of you who don't know about Rotary, let me just say we are a diverse group of people who apply our leadership and expertise to solve social issues, in our communities and around the world. Come join us!

Thank you, Rotary Club of Unity, Maine, for working around the world, and now for sponsoring this expedition.
