Rotary e-Club Holiday Gathering
Fun photos from the Rotary e-Club Holiday Gathering on December 15th at Ed and Robin Charlesworth's home. Happy Holidays everyone!
  
Community Service Calendar
Brittany Johnson brings us the following message regarding the e-Club Community Service Calendar. 
 
Hi everyone!  I’ve sent the community service calendar above so everyone has easy access to it.  December's theme is Holidays. At the party we made holiday cards that will be delivered to local nursing homes. If you weren't able to make the party, or if you live outside of Houston please find any local nursing home and you can still participate. The holidays can be a hard time, especially for those in nursing homes, and they are so grateful to receive cards and be remembered this time of year.
 
January’s theme is Winter Weather so you may also bring coats or blankets for donations in January. 

I also wanted to share a few intentional activities for those that have children (or even those that don’t!).  We have been using our elf on the shelf to introduce some of these projects and they coordinate with our homemade advent calendar that is centered primarily around giving and kindness.
  1. Cleaning out toys or closets
  2. Donation to local food drive
  3. Donation to local hospital (our children’s hospital hands out teddy bears to patients.  We even met a patient who had just received on and he gave our boys high fives and personally thanked them for making his spirits brighter)
  4. Adopt a child (check local churches, school organizations, advocacy centers, etc) or angel tree
  5. Pay it forward (even as simple as in the Starbucks line)
  6. Deliver cookies or dinner to local firefighters 
  7. Letters to Santa!  If you deliver a letter to Santa (or fill one out online!) at Macy’s they donate $1 per letter to Make A Wish!
 
Project Deworming Venezuela Update
Dear Rotarians,
Please take a look at the article from Rotary District 7305 where they highlight my visit along with Dr. Alberto Paniz to speak about the project Deworming Venezuela. They are very excited about this effort, and are starting fundraising activities this holiday season towards this cause.

Documentary: The Tragedy of the Yukpa People
Dear Rotarians, I invite you to watch and share this excellent documentary 'The Tragedy of the Yukpa People' by Voice of America (VOA) filmed during the visit of journalist Jaime Alberto Moreno Gomez to the Yukpa indigenous community Hope for Venezuelan Refugees are helping twice a week in Cúcuta in conjunction with our allies JUCUM Carpa Esperanza. We are very grateful to Jaime for raising awareness of the critical conditions in which this community lives in Cúcuta. Cristal Montanez
 
Hope for Venezuelan Refugees Update
Our Hope for Venezuelan Refugees team was delighted to meet and host Rotarian Lorena Gloden from the Perrysburg Rotary Club and her family, during their recent visit to Cúcuta.  Lorena had the opportunity to attend the weekly meeting of our partners the Rotary Club Cúcuta 1, and reunite with old family friends☺
 
For the next two days, Lorena, her husband Daniel and son Sebastian, in conjunction with our Hope For Venezuelan Refugees team,  Nury Contreras, Local Project Coordinator, and Cindy Catoni, Project Photo-Journalist, met with representatives of the Banco Diocesano de Alimentos en Cúcuta, our logistic partner in Cúcuta and learn how the Rise Against Hunger fortified meals inventory is stored and managed.
 
They also visited the following food distribution centers supported by the Hope For Venezuelan Refugees Project:
- Comedor Santo Domingo Savio – Approximately, 780 daily beneficiaries.
- Servidoras Madres para los Abandonados de la Calle – Approximately, 400 daily beneficiaries.
- Fundación Colombo-Venezolana Nueva Ilusión - Approximately, 500 daily beneficiaries.
- Yukpa Indigenous Community in Cucúta - Approximately, between 264 – 400 daily beneficiaries.  This album captures Lorena’s visit to the centers mentioned above  
Together we are alleviating hunger and building peace!
