Water Is Life: What We Rotarians Are Doing To Improve The Lives of Rural Bolivians

“When I see the District 5580 District’s newsletter name “Cross Currents” I think of water. Access to clean, potable water is a major concern throughout the world. Currently District 5580 Rotary clubs are working with Mano a Mano International (MMI), and in Bolivia (MMB) & (MMNM ) on medical clinics and to develop water wells for poor rural communities in Bolivia in need of clean potable drinking water.”
