14 Passenger Van currently in use at Open Arms Home for Children in South Africa

By Bob Solis

Below are a few photos of a new 14 passenger van currently in use at Open Arms Home for Children in South Africa.

This van was made possible from a district grant and the generous contributions of the following Rotary Clubs in our district:

District 5490

Sun City Rotary Club

Litchfield Park Rotary Club

Sedona Rotary Club

Phoenix 100 Rotary Club

Peoria Rotary Club

Peoria North Rotary Club

George and Willi Wheeler, members of the Peoria North Rotary

Allan and Polly Cady, members of the Mesa West Rotary Club

The beautiful new van was purchased in February and has been in use ever since, getting the 58 children at Open Arms to and from school and to other activities. This is a wonderful example of how Rotarians can come together to accomplish something wonderful for children in need! As you can see, it is also a wonderful rolling advertisement for Rotary!!
