Twenty-six Rotary Clubs in Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut (Rotary District 7890) have joined to fund a project that will bring fresh drinking water, sanitation facilities and hygiene training to a needy Mayan community in Guatemala. Including matching funds from The Rotary Foundation and those contributed to ALDEA, the cooperating partner NGO, $176,486 was raised. Adding this amount to the funds raised during the previous 16 years brings the total to $1,856,900.

Clubs in Agawam, East Longmeadow, Holyoke, Northampton, Pittsfield, West Springfield and Wilbraham/Hampden were involved.
