October Volunteering

Our Rotary Service project for October will take place at Kids Food Basket Main Center (652 Hastings Ave, Holland, MI 49423) on May 13th, from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM.
 

We have 10 spots reserved for this event, and several different activities have been prepared to accommodate various levels of ability.

Restoring Sight in Haiti

Dr Anshu Chandra joined us from Haiti at the eye clinic. The internet connection was intermittent, so she recorded a presentation. However, she was able to join us live for some questions. Here are some videos about the clinic. They are trying to raise money to build a new clinic.

A Patient’s Story

For all donations until November 30th, there is a 1-for-1 match available. More details can be found on the Global Eye Project website.

The Holland Rotary Noon Club and Holland After Hours Club are seeking donors and partners for a Rotary Global Grant to equip three medical facilities in Kenya with critical, lifesaving equipment. Population growth and aging or absent equipment severely strain local healthcare capacity. Urban hospitals face extreme overcrowding—often forcing four to five patients to share a single bed—while rural facilities lack the resources to acquire, maintain, or replace medical tools across geographically spread communities.
