A FOUNTAIN FOR LIFE

In October representatives from the Rotary Club of Hamilton A.M., Marta Stiteler and her husband Ron Rubin traveled to Tamuy, in the Yucutan peninsula.  They were delighted to participate in the dedication of a drinking fountain installed at an elementary school,  an ongoing project that the Rotary Club of Hamilton AM has helped fund with its partner Rotary Club of Valladolid, Mexico.
 
Pictured here are the students enjoying their new fountain.
This fountain is more than just clean water during the school day, it also provides clean water for families as the children take bottles of water home at the end of the day. Representatives from the Hamilton Club were able to join in the festivities as the first of several fountains were completed. The assembled guests were treated to a presentation of Mayan singing and dancing by children in traditional costume.    The project will continue with more fountains to provide fresh, clean drinking water to the community.
