A special visit from our Rotary friends from Hermisillo, Mexico, who have been instrumental in the very successful partnership between Semiahmoo Rotary and the Desierto Rotary Club in the distribution of almost 500 wheelchairs in the Hermisillo, Sonoro, Mexico area over the past four years. Dr. Sotelo-Mundo presented a video outlining the impact of the wheelchairs on the lives of the disabled. Sandy Wightman announced that Semiahmoo Rotary had received approval for a $6000 District grant that will go towards the Club's third trip to Hermisillo next year for wheelchair distribution.
