A team of 19 Idaho Rotarians from District 5400 is set to travel to Peru this February to participate in various humanitarian projects, including forestation, support for a children’s benefit concert, assistance for a cancer center, and donations to local hospitals and schools.
The group, which is made up of members from multiple Rotary clubs across Idaho, will work with local Rotary Clubs in Peru to plant trees in the high Andes mountains near Machu Picchu, in an effort to combat deforestation and promote sustainable development.
In addition to the forestation project, the team will also provide support for a children’s benefit concert, which aims to raise funds for a local Peruvian charity that supports needy children with promising musical talent. They will also visit a cancer center to offer support and donations, as well as provide wheelchairs to local hospitals and backpacks to children in a rural Peruvian school.
This humanitarian trip is part of the Rotary’s mission to promote service, fellowship, and goodwill around the world. The team is excited to make a positive impact in Peru and looks forward to building relationships with the local community.
