===================================
LETTER FROM NICK FRANKLE:
Many thanks to the Rotary Club of Simi Sunrise for your support of GG #1876286 to provide medical equipment, supplies and training in support of Operation Footprint. The contribution of the Rotarians in Simi Sunrise helped us fully fund the grant and we are now getting ready to order and ship materials to Honduras.
The medical team will be traveling to Honduras on January 22, 2020 and returning on January 29, 2020. I wanted to let you know that there is an opportunity for Rotarians in your club to travel with the medical team to see your investment at work.
In addition to Operation Footprint, we will be visiting two water projects, learning more about microfinance, visiting two Rotary Clubs and making new friends.
Visiting Rotarians will be home-hosted by local Rotarians in Tegucigalpa.
I have already sent travel information to Leigh Seaton. However, if anyone else in your club is interested, please have them contact me so that we can include them in our planning.
Thank you again for giving children in Honduras the opportunity for a future.
If you are interested in going please reach out to Nick at this email -
