Los Amigos Project
2024 trip to deliver vehicles to Mexico is set for departure September 2024. Hopefully we will be able to bring a school bus or two with us.
This year our project continues to grow with new clubs participating as you can see from our cover picture that we will be bringing a fire truck and also so far an Ambulance. Stay tuned fro more details. We are planning to head for Mexico for 6 days drive and then a week of celebrations with the communities and Club Rotarios de Distrito 4150. Muchas gracias pro todo el apoyo para el proyecto de este año 2022.

Coming Sept 2024
Long but exciting day. After the parade we met at the convention Center for a hand off of the vehicles to the respective fire departments. Then we spent the afternoon with dignitaries from Mazatlán and the communities who will be receiving the vehicles along with the fire fighters who will be using them. All were so appreciative and grateful for the equipment and the effort it took to get them here. Tomorrow we are off to Tepatitlan (7 hours one way) where the fire truck and handibus are going.
Mazatlan. Made it. Sorry for the brief posts but no one is keeping me informed of what is happening so I just post when I read other posts.
Day 7. Mazatlán here we come!
Arrived Navojoa. One more day!
