Rosario Rodriguez talked about the Rotary Club of Folsom project in Colima, Mexico at the end of the month.  The club will add solar panels to Casa Hogar, a school that houses and educates children from poverty stricken parents.  The home provides safety for the children while their parents work during the week.  Rosario asked the members to please consider donating to the project so that Rotarians will also be able to build a chicken coop and donate hygiene products and bedding to the 50+ children who live at Casa Hogar.  She set up a Go Fund Me page to collect donations.  Click on Casa Hogar project to donate.
