RB Sunrise Project Mercy Mexico House Build
On Saturday, April 15, several RB Sunrise members and family members got up early and travelled to the Otay Mesa border crossing. The as a group, they crossed into Mexico and were led to the building site. In the first picture below, you can see that the cement slab had already been poured. A blue tarp covers the makeshift shelter that the family was using.
This second photo below shows the first roof section being raised. Note that the portion of the this panel that will be outside is already painted.
In the photo below at the end of the day, you can see that the house is complete. The roofing material still needs to be installed, but the major work is done. The group of volunteers shown with the recipient family and workers from Project Mercy have provided a secure home for another family. Thanks to these volunteers and funding by RB Sunrise Rotary Maria and her husband, Hermando, and their children have a new home.
When was polio last in Europe? If you guessed 2002, the year the region was certified polio-free, you’re wrong. The last time polio affected a child in Europe was 2015. Outbreaks like the one that occurred in Ukraine that year are why, although we are so close to eradicating polio, we still need $1.5 billion more to finish the job.
