Recent Activities and Updates
Manchester Rotary recently celebrated its 18th Annual Guatemala Water Project Check Presentation and recognized the extraordinary dedication and leadership of Rick Lawrence.
For more than 20 years, Rick has been instrumental in leading District 7890’s Guatemala Water Projects, working alongside Rotary partners to bring clean, safe water to communities in need.
Through this ongoing effort, projects have been completed in 31 villages, reaching 3,639 families and more than 22,397 people. Rick has also helped oversee 14 successful Global Grants, with planning now underway for Global Grant #15 in El Rosario.
These numbers represent thousands of families and children whose communities have been strengthened through reliable access to clean water. Rick’s longstanding commitment, leadership, and passion for this work exemplify Rotary’s guiding principle of Service Above Self and have created an impact that will continue for generations.
Congratulations and thank you to Rick and Elin for more than 20 years of service and dedication to this important work.
