Sleep in Heavenly Peace (beds)

The Guatemala Literacy Project (GLP) is one of the largest grassroots, multi-club, multi-district projects in Rotary. More than 600 clubs and 80 districts have been working together since 1997 to improve education for underserved students in Guatemala. In that time, 208,500 students have been served through four sustainable programs that are tested and proven to work. In 2017, RI President Ian Riseley called the GLP “the gold standard of Rotary projects” for its sustainability and impact. We were proud to support their efforts.

 

The foundation funded a new iPad for the Bedford TV station to enable them to better able to provide live streaming during the pandemic. Their service was an important part of keeping people informed while business was being conducted online, with no spectators allowed.
