Rotary Club learns about projects underway in Honduras
December 11, 2020ALTON — The guest speaker at the Alton Centennial Rotary Club's weekly Zoom meeting last week was 7870 Past District Governor, Chris Parkinson, who for the past 20 years has been the Team Leader for the Amigos ce Honduras project in Danli, Honduras.
Danli was devastated 20 years ago by Hurricane Mitch. It all but destroyed most of the homes,
water and sanitation systems, and schools there. Since then, Parkinson has lead teams with 20-30 member Rotarians, with some non-Rotarian volunteers, 29 times, to help rebuild Danli.
"We have three objectives" said Parkinson. "First is to rebuild and repair their schools, next to rebuild and make hurricane proof their water and sanitation systems, and third to bring with us medical teams with prescription drugs to help save and improve lives."
