Random Act of Kindness

At their last meeting, the World Community Services Committee approved a grant of $250 for a "random act of kindness" to the Cupertino Rotarians traveling to Guatemala with the Faces of Hope. A "random act" is an amount of money that travelers on a world service trip can give to deserving individuals or groups on the ground in the country they are visiting.

With Don Fox's help, a partner organization to Faces of Hope was identified, Associadad Companeros Para Cirugia. ACPC is critical to Faces of Hope's mission. They identify patients from the indigenous community, escort them to the clinic, provide interpreters of Mayan dialects if needed, and provide outreach and support to the patients and their families long after we are gone.

We want to support and acknowledge the good work ACPC does. Don and I were able to present the grant to Oscar Asturias, M.D., who heads up ACPC, at a gathering one evening. Here is a photo of Oscar in his scrubs.


See what great work one of our Cupertino Rotary committees does in the world!
