Santiago is a 6 year member, secretary and also a
Paul Harris member of the Latacunga Rotary Club. The Latacunga Club has
18 members. Most South American clubs are men, and the spouses help with
the work. Some of the projects funded by Rotary Clubs were a State
School where computers and printers were purchased.
The club’s first project in 1981 was an Old
People’s Home were washers, dryers, wheelchairs, walkers, chairs,
tables, kitchen appliances, dining room furniture, and refrigerators and
freezers were purchased. Another project was a Rehab center for mentally
and physically challenged where rehab equipment, furniture, teaching
materials and kitchen appliances were purchased. These were also
furnished with gas and solar heating.
Eight child development centers were built in
Tanichchi to care for 353 children. Santiago’s club helped furnish the
Luis Fernando Ruiz State High School with computers and printers.
The club has also built a portable water
system, and a Blind association, with equipment and appliances for the
blind.
