District Governor Larry Horton joined a small group of District 5495 Rotarians on a recent trip to Hermosillo, Mexico to view up-close the micro-lending program sponsored by the district.

The trip, coordinated by Abe Feder and Craig Henry, visited borrowers of the Arizona Rotary Micro Credit Program in Sonora, Mexico. 

The amazing program enables borrowers in Hermosillo to invest and expand their small business to help eradicate poverty in their community. 

DG Larry joined the group in sampling the local foods. One of the borrowers was a local optometrist. DG Larry sat for an eye exam, only to learn he needs bifocals!
