Interested in an amazing and gratifying foreign adventure? Our fellow Rotarian Roberto (“Bob”) Romero has once again organized an LN4 project, this time in Medellin Columbia. Our club, along with the local Rotary club in Medellin, will be helping a number of Columbians with missing hands step forward towards a more normal life. LN4 is a project that provides free prosthetic hands for anyone in need anywhere in the world. https://ln4handproject.org/. If you want to participate, you will be given training.
Roberto has acted as our club’s LN4 organizer for several years now and is extremely excited about this and another upcoming event in San Salvador. (Details on the San Salvador trip will be forthcoming in a few weeks.)
See attached pictures of Rotarians and recipients of LN4 hands in Panama a few years ago. Thank you Milt Smith!
Please note that there are some State Department advisories out for traveling in Columbia. Nothing specific about Medellin, but still, something to consider. Obviously, our club can not take responsibility for problems participants encounter on this trip. Please check out the state department website before you make your travel decisions. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Colombia.html
If you are interested in participating in this adventure, (or the upcoming adventure in San Salvadore), please contact Roberto via email romero0425@outlook.com.
