Donations from the Rotary Club of North Raleigh
We are a founder of a Rotary program that has provided books and computers for children since 1998. In addition to financial support, several of our members have traveled to Guatemala to distribute books and learning materials. They have immersed themselves in the rich culture and traditions of this small Central American country. Support for this effective program has grown throughout the United States and Rotarians have now contributed over $700,000 to this project.
Last year, our club donated $3,000 and received a matching grant from the district. We have been instrumental in enlisting 16 clubs within our district to donate to this project since 1998.
