Chiapas was downright sublime - like I said - “what could go wrong”?
Our team was whittled down to nine stalwart Mohicans by the last day (some of the team left early for prior commitments) - we talked our Rotary partners into front loading customers (getting some of the wheelchair recipients to the distribution early). Alas - the best laid plans of mice and men - last day, folks kept crawling out of the woodwork - total number of lucky recipients receiving a shiny new chariot (drum roll) Two hundred and twenty four!






All work and no play - makes Jack a dull boy! Hope Haven West volunteers enjoyed some exceptional touring, sightseeing, and epicurean adventurism following the seating marathon…
Service opportunities for the rest of the year - I know, I know, State Department is giving us the stink eye for arranging all this travel - just so you know, Uncle Lonny is not cavalier about such cautionary admonishments - we keep our eyes peeled, close contact with our partners, and will pull the plug if we sniff danger in the wind.
April 5 through 12 - Ecuador (team closed)
May 9 through 17 - Oaxaca, Mexico (team closed)
August 3 through 8 - Leon, Mexico / This project has just weaseled its way back into the schedule for 2026 (partners have secured a giant auditorium - applications complete). Anticipate a day trip to San Miguel de Allende or Guanajuato (Magic Towns - Woo Hoo).
September 15 through 27th - Kenya, Africa/ This distribution will include a three day Safari (we plan to chase down the great migration - supposed to be an epic adventure - get on the bus)! While distribution proceeds, HHW team will enjoy the luxury of Turtle Bay Resort in Watamu Bay! Due to current geopolitical irregularities, we are delaying purchasing flights. If this project is calling your name, get on our advance list ASAP - we will keep you posted on arrangements when the coast is clear to travel.
October 12 through 17 - Orizaba, Mexico/ Special project with ALEM (our distribution partners from Cuernavaca - team is building some impressive seating skills). Back to a special Magic Town which has gone over the top in setting the standard for Rotary hospitality in Central Mexico.
Don’t dawdle - these teams will fill up fast! If something strikes your fancy, let me know ASAP - we are presently building teams for Leon, Kenya and Orizaba.
Save the Date - June 26th - Paul Thorn at The State Theater - tickets available now! Click on the poster below to purchase tickets.
Take a vacation with a purpose - do something that your grandkids will ask you to tell them stories about!
Waging Heavy Peace,
Uncle Lonny
