Chula Vista, USA, Rotary
– Cuzco, Peru, Rotary
What an experience ! With the
support of the Chula Vista Rotary Club and PAMS, Dr Sanchez organized a medical
mission to Cuzco. In total, over 40 people were involved from planning to
executing the mission. We had an amazing time seeing Peru and helping many
people in need. We assisted in areas ranging from medical support and educational issues to engineering
consulting. You will be able to look up more information on this webpage over
the next few weeks as we are still recapping and summarizing. Here is a one
glance shot.

feet above sea level) with a side trip to Machu Picchu (approximate altitude
8,000 feet). |

WHEN:
Early summer of 2003
was the time frame for this
adventure. During that time it was winter south of the Equator. We departed San
Diego on June 29th and returned on July 9th. We where very lucky with
the weather, every day was a sunny, blue sky, except in Lima of course. |
| HOW:
The Chula Vista Rotary
Foundation
organized the tour which included airfare, hotel and travel accommodations within Peru, the trip to Machu Picchu, and some meals. The cost
was about $1800 plus whatever you
wished to donate. |

Note: The complete work details have not yet been finalized. Dr. Sanchez
is in communication with Rotarians in Peru and Peruvian government officials at
this time.
It 's easy for Rotarians to understand what Inter-national Service is all
about because it goes to the heart of Rotary: using service to advance
international understanding and goodwill.
