Vinings Cumberland Brings Health to Bolivia

Over a very snowy weekend in Atlanta, a team of dedicated Vinings Cumberland Rotarians embarked on an international mission to Bolivia. After enduring nearly 50 hours of travel delays, they arrived in Santa Cruz, ready to serve.

In partnership with Dr. Steve Rosser of Emory University, the team assisted in a cleft palate surgical mission, supporting mothers and children as they prepared for and recovered from life-changing operations. In just five days, the team helped provide care for 60 patients. For many of our Rotarians, the most unforgettable moment was witnessing the overwhelming joy on the faces of mothers as they saw their children's transformed faces for the first time.

This Bolivia mission builds on the club’s ongoing commitment to global service. Earlier, another group of members traveled to Paraguay, partnering with the Luque Rotary Club to install seven much-needed cold water fountains in local elementary schools, providing clean drinking water for hundreds of students.

Together, these projects reflect the heart of Rotary—service above self, both at home and around the world.
