A wonderful woman from the Rotary Club in Cloverdale, California recently contacted me and was very excited to hear about our project. She has done projects in Mexico before, most recently building an ER in Guadalajara I think. She came to visit me in Tulum while on her vacation and we met with the Directora of the school and the presidents from the local Tulum Rotarians as well as the President from the Playa del Carmen club.
The meeting went very well as we discussed the needed items for the school and the areas that various clubs might be able to help.
The first thing that jumped out as something that they could help on right away was the needed chairs for the school. Many of the class rooms are very light on chairs and a percentage of the chairs are not sturdy enough to last much longer.
After securing a grant for the purchase of the chairs, the Tulum chapter President will be delivering the chairs soon. I am so excited to see the new chairs and the looks on the faces of the children and teachers when they receive the wonderful donation.
I will post pictures as soon as I have them.
