Rotary4Guatemala This site is about on-going humanitarian work by Rotarians in Lanquin, Guatemala. It shows what we d Back in Feb. Why Guatemala?

of 2006, the Rotary Club of Hanford sent a team of three individuals to look into finding a hands-on international project. It was a match made in heaven and we have been returning to the same indigenous community of Lanquin twice a year since. We have grown from a single club project to a multi-club project involving a large number of clubs in our district as well as other service organizations,

churches and individual contributors. The indigenous people of this country face intense discrimination and live in grinding poverty. In fact, this country has the lowest life expectancy and highest infant mortality rate in all of Central America. Malnutrition among Guatemalan children is extremely high – among the worst in the world. We take volunteer teams in twice annually to a remote jungle area of northern Guatemala. There we provide humanitarian assistance in the area of education, health and sanitation. Our travelers are all self-funded, so 100% of all money raised goes directly to the project.
