In early 2020 WHITE ROCK ROTARY CLUB [DISTRICT 5810] embarked on a matching grant project with Rotary Club District 5240 Carpinteria, CA called “Unite to Light” that concluded this month.
This was done to build on our work in the international arena and found a need in Haiti. Through the partnership grant we were able to contact the foundation for Destined for Grace School in Haiti and arranged for 40 solar lamps and 12 solar chargers to be sent to the school in Fall 2020. These lamps and chargers are essential to the learning and lifestyle of the students, staff, and community in this area where electricity is not always available. While the lamps will prove useful for school and home, the chargers will enhance communication and health services in the community as they are built to charge cellular phones as well as medical devices.
