Roswell Rotary Club members voted on Nov. 3 to support the coalition providing potable water to Buena Vista, Guatemala.
The vote came after Deborah Simon, a Rotary District 5520 global grants coordinator, spoke to the club on Oct. 20. She will coordinate the Buena Vista water project.
Bianca Cheney, Roswell Rotary president, said “a hat will be passed for donations” at the Nov. 10 and 17 club meetings.
Simon, raised in Guatemala as the daughter of missionaries, has coordinated Rotary global grant projects in Guatemala since 1997.
Each year, Simon leads a team of volunteers to Guatemala to perform needs and sustainability assessments, check the status of past projects, and select a new global grant project.
