Update from Los Abuelitos

Last August the Rotary Club of Mill Creek's International Committee presented a grant of $1,000 to Los Abuelitos.

Jennifer Levy,  Founder and President of Los Abuelitos was back in town this Wednesday May 16th and spent a couple of minutes updating the work being accomplished at Los Abuelitos.  Working with licensed Physical Therapists along with students they accomplished quite a bit and will continue their project of helping the elderly. 

Jennifer Hoock of Guatemala Village Health contacted us to announce that they are in the final stages of organizing and packing a container of medical equipment & supplies to go to Guatemala.  They would welcome volunteers to assist. 

There are two opportunities: 1) inventorying the supplies to be shipped this weekend, May 19-20; and 2) packing the container on June 9-10th.   Both activities will take place at the Group Health Central South Building, Level B on Capitol Hill from 8-5 on all of these days.

Our club has helped sponsor the collection and shipment of the supplies which are going to the new Monterico Clinic (just officially opened in February) in Guatemala.  Los Abuelitos is a  501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, that works to support underserved elderly populations in need around the world.
