Chula Vista Sunrise Rotarians were pleased to learn about City Hope, a non-profit serving La Mesa and East County. Director Dani Womack joined via Zoom and shared about this valuable group of volunteers who work with community members dealing with crisis and trauma.
This week the Chula Vista Sunrise Rotarians took a field trip to the Innovation Station! Located in the basement of the Chula Vista Public Library on "F" Street, we got to see one of the six Innovation Stations around town which serves 4th, 5th, and 6th graders from the Chula Vista Elementary School District.
At this week's meeting we had the pleasure of welcoming Olga Llinska, a Ukranian refugee, and Rotarian James Morrison to our meeting. James, who is a member of Pt. Loma Rotary, shared about the process of Rotary International grants and the impact of supporting families like Olga, who escaped her homeland and the challenges she has faced.
We met this week on Zoom to accommodate our speaker, Maxie Gluckman. Maxie gave us an informational year in review progress report on our Train for Change Global Grant in Honduras. A teacher and director from twelve schools have been attending Train the Trainer Sessions, covering items such as classroom setup, parenting support, leadership development and more. We left with a better understanding of how this grant will affect the education of the children in the area.
