Pastor Rigaud is the Past President of a Rotary Club in Port Au Prince Haiti, who partnered with the Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Club over the past two years to finance a water truck for the orphanage and school he oversees. Over $40,000 was raised in the greater L/A community to purchase a truck and equip it with a tank and specialty parts needed to deliver water to the orphanage, school and the local village.
The devastating destruction of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti left many children orphaned and entire communities struggling to rebuild. Due to the proximity to sea level, drilled wells are not an option for the school and orphanage so they rely on water being delivered daily for bathing, laundry and other daily needs at a cost of $45.00 every three days.
A work team from the Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Club visited Haiti in 2012, and International Committee Chair Stephanie Gelinas also did some exploration and discovery that resulted in the Haiti Water Truck International Project. Pastor Rigaud will provide an update on the water truck and how it will be put to use as a micro-business serving the orphanage, school and local community.
The Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Club believes in Service Above Self in the community, the workplace and throughout the world. The L/A Rotary has committed itself to helping local and international organizations. Annually they award $7,000 in scholarships and thousands more to local area non profits. Internationally, they have built a library in the Philippines and assisted with reconstruction after the devastating earthquakes in Haiti, including the funding of a water truck to service a Haitian community and orphanage. For more information on the Lewiston-Auburn Rotary, go online to www.lewistonauburnrotary.org or find them on Facebook/Lewiston (ME) Rotary. The club meets on Thursdays at the Ramada Inn from 12-1pm weekly.
