ROTARACT UPDATE

The Twin Ports Rotaract had the amazing opportunity for 3 of their members to participate in a Rotary service project trip to Guatemala over spring break. They traveled to 3 different schools to deliver school supplies and assisted with construction by mixing a lot of concrete. Seeing the difference our district makes in Guatemala was remarkable. Witnessing the children’s smiles after delivering school supplies and teaching them how to play “Duck, Duck, Grey Duck” was a highlight.

 

This type of trip was brand new for me, and there is no better way I would have wanted to spend our Spring Break. We had an unforgettable experience with all the kids and made a lot of new friends along the way. I hope students from our club are still able to have this opportunity next year, and it is for sure something I will be doing again. -Delaney Urban Co-President of Twin Ports Rotaract

 

Of the 13 days that we spent in Guatemala, my favorite days were spent at the work site and visiting the schools. It was remarkable to see the impact that our district has had in Monterrico schools, from building new infrastructure to delivering supplies. At every school visit, the children were full of hugs and huge smiles. I enjoyed building connections with Rotarians from all over the district, and new friends from District 4450. -Alyssa Sorenson Co-President of Twin Ports Rotaract

 

Thank you to Harbortown Rotary for giving the scholarships that allowed these Rotaractors to go on this life changing trip.
