Good news!!  356 boxes of fortified foods, Rise Against Hunger (RAH) (5,473.95 tons equivalent to 76,896 servings of food), were successfully delivered to the Food Bank in Cúcuta. The RAH food boxes are a donation from the Rotary e-Club of Houston to the Diocesan Food Bank COSPAS. Thanks to our ally Rotary Club of Cucuta 1, under the leadership of Diana Gamboa and our local coordinators Patrocinio Ararat y Mariness, for their commitment to facilitate and oversee the planning and implementation of this new project. This donation is destined to the Diocese of Cúcuta program that supports refugee and migrant families in vulnerable conditions who no longer receive the UN World Food Program (WFP)  bonds. Thus, these families can cook their meals over wood fire since gas is costly in Colombia. This donation is part of the Hope For Venezuelan Refugees project.

 

 

Congratulations go to our Rotary e-Club of Houston for winning Humanitarian Service Project of the Year in District 5890. Thanks go to chair Isis Mejias and Cristal Montañez for all their hard work! #Venezuela#HopeForVenezuela #Refugees

The mural at Margaret Long Wisdom High School in Houston is complete!! Thank you everyone for volunteering and putting in your sweat and tears, and a HUGE thank you to Nguyen Nguyen for his perseverance and leadership  in action! This will benefit the students for years to come.

Beautiful job by the artists, Viktor Kopic and Betirri Bengtson! Vox Culture is part of the Stage 1 completion of the 'Martin Bailey Memorial Garden Project' at Margaret Long Wisdom High School. This long term urban garden project, in partnership with the Rotary E-Club of Houston, aims to build a model tackling several social issues, while providing students access to live education via innovation, green technology + environmentally conscious solutions, the arts, and more. In addition, the garden provides an affordable/self produced, organic, food resource for the students, the school, and in the long term, the surrounding community at large.

The alumni meet and greet was held on May 26th at Harold's in the Heights. Great to see and catch up with people!
