Mechanicsburg Rotary Club's 2009 Well Project

Volunteers Needed!
What: The Mechanicsburg Rotary Club will send 8 people to El Salvador to dig a well that will provide clean water for a village that doesn’t have such water now. We will work in cooperation with a Texas-based 501(c)3 organization called Living Water that has successfully dug almost 300 such wells already and plans to have over 700 wells in this general area to provide water for each of those villages.
When: We have reserved November 1 through 7, 2009 for this project. We will leave Harrisburg Sunday, November 1 and return to Harrisburg Saturday, November 7. We will connect with Living Water in Houston and they will coordinate our trip and all activities from that point on.
Cost: The total cost of the trip for 8 people will be $20,000. This will cover all costs from Harrisburg back to Harrisburg except for personal spending.
Other information: We intend for this to be a club project. We hope to partner with another area Rotary club to recruit personnel and to assume part of the expenses as
well.
Contact for more information: Dave Brandt is leading the committee assigned to plan and oversee this project.
