2025 Seating Clinics - Dates are set!

Now for the meat of the thing - Travel/Service/Opportunities:

May 17th through 31st  - Distribution to Merida, Villahermosa, Chiapas (three cities - 600 wheelchairs).  Stay tuned for the photos in next months newsletter (this project is now filled).

July 26th through August 1st -  Irapuato, Mexico - This will be our third project with some of the most charming and hospitable Rotarians on planet earth.  Great accommodations, A/C in the distribution pavilion (not a given - and appreciated when it’s on tap)! 

August 9th through 16th  -  Portoviejo, Ecuador - Not going to lie to you, this project will be a challenge.  Hope Haven West is very familiar with the landscape of this hard scrabble little burg.  Chinese restaurant across street from our hotel added a shotgun guard in front this past year (absolutely fabulous shrimp dishes).  Kids are some of the toughest (to provide seating for) we encounter anywhere - Reality/Boom!  I know, I know - probably not my best pitch for building a team. Perhaps we appeal to the Mother Theresa types - you know who you are…

September 7th through 13th -  Veracruz, Mexico  -  Some great memories here (last time we stayed on the square just off the main wharf) palm trees, soft wind drifting from the harbor, music, dancing - like a Bogie film…

November 12th through 23rd  -  Lima and Piura, Peru  -  Didn’t we just do a project in Peru?  Back to Lima - this time no marathon bus rides to the distribution site (my wife will be so happy).  Great Hotel - three blocks from the distribution center (unprecedented luxury in Lima).  Piura is located north of Chiclayo - just south of the Ecuadorian border (see - dialed that right in for ya).   Great weather - incredible lemons (bet the Pisco Sours there are off the hook).  Curious - join us!
