Looking for easy and simple ways to make high-impact, achievable steps to reduce your carbon footprint? The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) are partnering with others on their Count Us In campaign which aims to inspire 1 billion people to take practical steps. If 1 billion people globally take an action step, carbon emissions can be reduced by 20%!

WATER AND SANITATION

imageWe recently traveled to Bolivia to visit our Rotary District projects that included medical clinics and water well projects. I’m happy to report that all projects have been successfully completed and functioning.  The Rotary 5580 Laguna Sulti Water Well Projects in Chirusi Rosario & Tajamar are in operation and serving these Communities. The Chirusi Rosario water tank was completed on October 26, 2022, and they claim that this water tank with its ROTARY logo is the tallest in the whole wide world.
