Report on this year's trip to Guatemala

Dan Strobell has been leading a company of Rotarians and other humanitarian volunteers on a lifechanging journey to Maya villages in Guatemala for 18 years.  What began with members of his own family has now expanded to include most of the members of St. George Rotary, some from Cedar City Rotary; others in District 5420 ... and this year, even included donors from Ohio!  The Guatemala stoves project - named Utah Rotary District's "International Project of the Year" in 2024 - is a humanitarian project building simple vented cinderblock stoves for villagers who have before been cooking over open fires inside their homes.  Now numbering 3400+ stoves in many Maya homes, this year Rotarians took along Happy Factory toys, hundreds of hand knit or crocheted caps, a large supply of vitamins, dry beans and other services.

This project has changed many lives.  Please invite friends, family, neighbors and co-workers to experience the "Magic of Rotary" in action to join us at the Pasta Factory meeting room.
