Rotary Club community aid in South America
Overview
Rotary Club chapters in South America have engaged in various charitable activities focused on disability support and community fundraising.
In late September, chapters in Paraguay and Argentina provided direct aid to individuals with disabilities. In Encarnación, Paraguay, the Rotary Club Encarnación Norte donated ten wheelchairs to the Centro de Ayuda al Discapacitado Encarnación (CENADE) via the Wheelchair Foundation. In Bernal, Argentina, the Rotary Club de Ezpeleta provided clothing and footwear to Juntos En Marcha, a project supporting the labor inclusion of young people with disabilities.
By early October, efforts shifted toward organized fundraising events. In Paraguay, the Rotary Club Encarnación Norte and Rotaract prepared the seventh ‘End Polio Now’ walk to raise awareness and funds for polio eradication. Meanwhile, in Uruguay, Rotary Artigas and Rotary Sembrador organized a solidarity paella to assist families affected by the flooding of the Cuareim River and to fund repairs for a local school playground.
