A July 2008 update!

Written by Derek on July 31st, 2008

Hello everyone, here is an update of the activity of our project from July 2008.

Of course this time of the year is simply too hot to be in Mexico for us Canadian’s so instead Bob has spent the summer promoting the project and collecting donations. Here is a list of some of the activities from the first half of the year.


Sunrise Rotary Club donated $5000.00 to match the funds with the local government in order to build a house for the principal who has been sleeping on the floor of the only high school ( Villa del Mar) in southern Cabo Corrientes.  This house has now been completed with the help of the local population and the teacher no longer has to fear scorpion bites.

Members from the Rotary Club in Calgary are coming to visit  Pt. Vallarta and Cabo Corrientes after hearing how well the visit went with the Sunrise Rotary Club.

Barbara , Patsy , Sandra and  and  friends who were kind enough to hold a fundraiser in Vancouver to help Mexico on July 23rd which in 2 hours raised an amazing $8000.00  and everyone had so much fun they have already booked it again for next year.

A Big Thank You to all the people who came!

Along with our good friend Sarah in PV we were able to purchase a new pump for a school in the very poor area of Pt. Vallarta.

Thanks Wanda for all those diapers you bought for Pasitos de Luz. ( special needs center)  and a special thanks to Nicholas, Leith & Bruce, Susan , Dorothy ,Karl,etc who have donated to the cause this year.
