International Volunteer Day for Midday Rotary!

By Paola Velasco

On December 5, celebrating International Volunteer Day, Midday Rotary members teamed up with Rotaract (Young Rotarians) to clean up the Las Cachinches Stream, a waterway that crosses the city from the Guadalupe neighborhood to El Parian square.

The work was hard, there was a lot of garbage that accumulated during the rainy season; They ended up with a truck full of garbage, mostly plastic objects. This cleaning guarantees not to contaminate the waterways any more when the next rainy season arrives. Volunteers had the opportunity to speak to locals, police, and the media about the importance of protecting rivers and natural spaces.

For Midday Rotary the spirit of volunteering and the spread of Rotary consciousness is essential, Teaming up for the common welfare is something that motivates you to volunteer and be able to help the community.

¡Thank you very much for your work!
