What is "Water For Life" The Rotary Club of Paradise (California) felt compelled to take on an international undertaking and, therefore, attended the Uniendo America Projects Fair in Guatemala, Central America to meet with Rotarians of third world areas and together, determine Central American needs. The Need Just one, staggering statistic: 35,000 children die EACH WEEK from non-potable water; worldwide. It is overwhelmingly apparent that the number one need is the necessity for suitable, potable water. Rotary International is seriously considering water as their next international project, similar in scope to their initial campaign to eradicate polio world wide. More about Uniendo America Projects Fair Uniendo America means “Uniting America,” and that is just what, Uniendo America Project fairs aim to do. Since 1994, Uniendo America has held a Fair in a different Central American country each year where Central American Rotarians have presented World Community Service (WCS) projects to North American Rotarians in hopes of forming international partnerships. Meeting face to face at the Fairs has created lasting friendships, forged new working relationships and facilitated the implementation of hundreds of WCS projects, benefiting countless Central (and North) Americans. It is what Rotary International is all about: Creating goodwill and understanding through international cooperation. Uniendo America Project Fairs are not official programs of Rotary International, but rather they are grassroots efforts, being organized by the hosting countries. What happens now Rotary Club of Paradise is organizing fundraisers to help catapult this issue to international awareness! You too can be part of the start of something huge, right here in our own backyard, by attending the first fundraiser to assist in this endeavor. Our Goal This partnership with Central America promises to be the beginning of something that we aspire to extend from Central America to all other parts of the world, on both sides of this partnership...the partners raising the funds, and the partners benefiting from the funds.With the first of what plans to be a significant amount of performances by top-rated artists-worldwide, come be a part of the beginning of something huge..."Water for Life."
