Development On Juarez Medical Project

President Will Hume announced to the club that a non-profit arm of Pirate Radio will assume the maintenance of the motor home generously donated by a family in Fort Collins following Dr. SanJuana Mendoza's radio interview. The people Dr. Mendoza targets literally survive on scraps from the dump and monies raised salvaging reusable items to sell. These people are the poorest of Juarez Mexico. Dr. Mendoza serves the medical needs of these people at low or no cost to them. Our club has supported her work to these people on an international humanitarian basis and making our effort to "Engage Rotary and Change Lives."

The motor home will be used as part of a traveling radio program from Greeley, Colorado to El Paso, Texas. El Paso is just across the Mexican Border from Juarez. Along the route the motor home will be filled with medical supplies and donations for the medical mission. The hope is that other Rotary Clubs along the way will be inspired to contribute whatever supplies they can and partner with us in this work. Thank you to the people of Pirate Radio and their non-profit and the many Rotarians who have brought this development into existence. An a special "Thank you" to Will Hume for his tireless spearheading of this project.
