International Service
In 2004 we created a 2,000-dollar grant to build three sun-dried cisterns as a water-harvesting project with the Rotary Club of Bali. That project concluded in 2005.
In 2005, Deborah Dyste helped the club coordinate a project with the Honduras Outreach Project that created a dam, a storage tank and a pipeline system that provided a gravity driven water delivery system for 28 homes in a Honduran village. The grant totaled 10,100 dollars.
A group of club members helped organize an Operation Smile mission in Honduras, to operate on young people with facial deformities such as cleft palate. In 2006 a group of Northlake volunteers helped build a Habitat for Humanity home in Honduras. The ongoin project Living Water is contributing funds to help get water wells dug in remote villages in Africa.
Our 2009/2010 project is a grant totaling 20,000 dollars for refurnishing a medical clinic that was destroyed by fire in South Africa. For this project we have partnered with the Claremont Rotary Club in Western Cape South Africa.
