Medical Clinic in Pantanal

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting, Julie, a Rotarian from Raleigh, NC, from the Granville Club in District 7710. It was nice to be able to spend some time with Julie and with Evita, Amanda Louise, and Karen, other Rotarians from Granada, to see what projects they are working on. Since I have been here I have met Rotarians from Boston, MA who came to help with projects in Granada, and from NC. I presented my work with Rotary to part of the group from Boston, and on the day I was planning to go to the clinic with them the doctor changed her plans, so it didn't work out. However, they were able to reschedule and donate medical equipment and clothing, and participate in a local feeding program. In addition, one of the club members bought a refrigerator for a local nursing home that was in need. There is only one Rotary Club here in Granada, but it does the work of 20 clubs! Rotary of Granada is very active in the community and helps with many worthy projects. These are pictures the medical clinic in Pantanal, a small village outside of Granada, that was constructed with the help of Rotary of Granville and Rotary here in Granada. Pictured inside by the collage is Julie (left) and Evita. They have worked together on several construction projects and really have this thing down to a science. This clinic was much needed and is greatly appreciated. The doctor comes once a week for pediatric appointments in the morning and sees pregnant moms in the afternoon. I hope to be able to come back to help in this clinic!
