Inspirational moment
Humanitarian Project to Improve Health and Combat Poverty
in Mayan Villages
District 7910 - Central Massachusetts- created a Global Grant and led a group of Westborough, MA and other district Rotarians to install 184 stoves in the homes of Mayan villagers along the shores of picturesque Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. Most villagers cook on an open flame inside their homes.
Studies by the World Health Organization have determined that smoke inhalation is a root cause of death and poor health in Mayan women and the primary cause of death in their children, ages 1-5.
These new efficient cook stoves, however, reduce indoor carbon monoxide by 99% and allow children to go to school - rather than gathering firewood all day - as each cinder block stove burns 85% less wood.

Banff (region and town)
Established in 1885, it is Canada’s oldest national park and is located in the ruggedly wild Canadian Rockies. With trails, lakes, forests and mountains to keep you enthralled, Banff is every outdoor enthusiast’s dream destination.
Honestly, the whole area is incredible and it’s hard to bullet point into a few sentences. That being said, check out our full 1-week Banff itinerary to explore Banff National Park. It really is incredible.

Comments from our guests and members
Members and guests attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring, and entertaining weekly meetings.
Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?
How educating girls can help fight climate change. In places like West Africa 17% of the population lack basic literary skills such as reading and writing. The more educated the more awareness children, especially girls have about climate change.

June 4. Water rescue dogs. What a great idea!

BRAZIL
STORY BY: NUNO VIRGILIO NETO AND RENATO DANTAS
The southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul is still reeling from catastrophic flooding last month. Nuno Virgilio Neto and Renato Dantas from the magazine Rotary Brasil describe the work which Rotary has been doing.
“I held on until the firefighters arrived and then left my building by swimming. The water was already two metres high. I took care to raise everything, but it wasn't enough. The water was stronger."
Until the closing of this edition, the floods had left a trail of destruction in 467 cities, causing the death of 161 people and the disappearance of 85. With 71,503 people displaced and 581,633 homeless, authorities estimate that more than 2.3 million inhabitants were affected by the rains.
The tragedy was met with what is considered the largest solidarity network in Brazil’s history, with thousands of volunteers mobilised and millions of reais in donations.
