The Rotarians were joined by teachers, students, and administrators of the school, as well as the mayor of county of Hualañé to participate in a lunch to communicate the further reconstruction work needed in the community and the challenges facing the people of Hualañé. In these talks, we discovered that although the main dirt road of Barba Rubia is planned to be paved, the community continues to rely completely on wells and stream water for its water supply, which is subject to inconstancies in quality and potability.<br /><br />Also in attendance were representatives from <a href="http://www.voluntaryhorizons.com/">Voluntary Horizons</a>, a non-profit agency that brokers community service opportunities for travelers, which was rebuilding the community center in neighboring village of Los Coipos.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fnGAX-ha2kM/TEdGu_kug-I/AAAAAAAAAPg/9icVwh9aDb8/s1600/DSC01687.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fnGAX-ha2kM/TEdGu_kug-I/AAAAAAAAAPg/9icVwh9aDb8/s320/DSC01687.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496439643382383586" /></a><br /><br />Above: Pancho, a Rotarian of Rotary Club La Reina in Santiago, strikes a pose and covers up "Alta" while joking around with his colleagues from neighboring RC La Reina Alta.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2152150401301538080-8406681984777326956?l=projectbarbarubia.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mikey Tnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2152150401301538080.post-67692813805312935502010-07-08T11:27:00.001-04:002010-08-26T00:11:49.201-04:00A friendly group of local businesspeople at Santa Maria Shipping Company, headed by Anastassios Markaronis from Petaluma in the San Francisco Bay Area, are helping the school of Barba Rubia by donating a fully-equipped trailer for use as a kindergarten unit at the Barba Rubia school.<br /><br />This Saturday, July 10, Rotary Club La Reina Alta members and project volunteers will be on-site in Barba Rubia to inagurate the installation of the new classroom. <br /><br />News article from California shows trailer before shipment<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fnGAX-ha2kM/TDXw9Ku3l_I/AAAAAAAAAPQ/HY0_A6IMdZk/s1600/StasMargaronisNewspaperImage.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 306px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fnGAX-ha2kM/TDXw9Ku3l_I/AAAAAAAAAPQ/HY0_A6IMdZk/s320/StasMargaronisNewspaperImage.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491560254291810290" /></a><br /><br />Interior view of the trailer<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fnGAX-ha2kM/TDXxXV8CC4I/AAAAAAAAAPY/YppB2Fyfqyc/s1600/Container.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fnGAX-ha2kM/TDXxXV8CC4I/AAAAAAAAAPY/YppB2Fyfqyc/s320/Container.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491560703976409986" /></a><br /><br />Many thanks to our friends in Petaluma!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2152150401301538080-6769281380531293550?l=projectbarbarubia.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mikey Tnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2152150401301538080.post-73288100980716954202010-07-08T11:23:00.001-04:002010-08-22T08:44:09.422-04:00(Please Enlarge Photo)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fnGAX-ha2kM/THEbDg1WHbI/AAAAAAAAAPo/EY6oedPxhNM/s1600/Picture+5.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 210px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fnGAX-ha2kM/THEbDg1WHbI/AAAAAAAAAPo/EY6oedPxhNM/s320/Picture+5.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508213566418066866" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2152150401301538080-7328810098071695420?l=projectbarbarubia.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mikey Tnoreply@blogger.com0
