Our recent speaker David Emery shared with us the need for funding clean water projects in Cambodia. He was passionate about his organization’s ability to provide water collection and storage in addition to water filtration systems to the Cambodian population in need.

 

Projects are funded by outside sources, and the recipients participate by paying on a sliding scale to a community fund for maintenance and upkeep of the projects in their community.

 

If you are interested in helping, please send a check to the Penn Valley Rotary Foundation, which will collect the funds and forward them in our name to the Bareebo organization. Be sure to write “Bareebo” on your check.

 

 

 

Thank you to Mark Fleming for another grand evening at the ball park! We watched the RiverCats win, a spectacular fireworks show, and enjoyed great fellowship with fellow Rotarians. Thanks also to Mark's friend John for all his work in preparing the bus snack and drinks. 

Stephen Browning's talk on Tuesday, August 28th, was clear and informational, a great description of the role of our U.S. Ambassadors  and how the U.S. foreign service works in international communities. Maybe Stephen will come back and give us another talk about his journey through his career with U.S. Foreign Service. Thank you Stephen Browning for your service to our country.
