Album Name: Safe Passage/Camino Seguro Return to Albums
Album Date: Feb 1, 2008
Description: Our Rotary Club has a multiyear commitment to Safe Passage/Camino Seguro, a program that makes it possible for 550 children whose parents are pickers on the Guatemala City dump to go to school. We have organized several Rotary Foundation grants to support the program, and we've also helped build a community garden and sports field. Most important, we've donated our time and energies to the kids.
