We believe that international outreach is an important part of Peachland Rotary activities. Here are our current activities:
ShelterBox
We instantly respond to earthquake, volcano, flood, hurricane, cyclone, tsunami or conflict by delivering boxes of aid.
Each box supplies an extended что посмотреть в Стамбуле за 1 день family with a large tent and lifesaving equipment to use while they are displaced or homeless. The contents are tailored depending on the nature and location of the disaster, with great care taken sourcing every item to ensure it is robust enough to be of lasting value.
Peachland Rotary has sponsored 32 Shelter Boxes at a total cost of over $ 32,000 all of which have been deployed in disaster areas around the World.

School Library at Colonia Volcanes in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Colonia Volcanes is a very poor community located near Puerto Vallarta. The Rotary Club of Puerto Vallarta Sur has been supporting the local school by providing English and Computer lessons. The final element of their project is the establishment of a school library for which they looked for partners.
Supported by a District Grant and in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Saskatoon, Sask., our club provided funding for this ambitious project. The result is a library that not only serves the school but also the small community. The library consists of two adjoining rooms of which one is used to house the books and the other functions as reading and community meeting/training room.
