The home for abandoned seniors is in a remote area, well off the main road of La Rumorosa, Mexico. Water is trucked in and stored in a large tank. However, pipes from the tank to the home leaked in several areas. Club members repaired the leaks. They also tackled a ramshackle fuse box. We didn't stop there. In addition to installing an electric water heater, club members rebuilt a laundry and installed an industrial strength washer and dryer. It took a great amount of work and coordination but gave the members a tremendous source of pride. The laundry room project alone reminded the members of how much for granted we take the availability of basic infrastructure such as working utilities. Whenever the power goes out in the small municipality, which is not unusual, the electric water heater must be reset. Our project for 2024-2025 is to help the seniors home continue work on a geriatric center, which will help better treat the various diseases the seniors are battling: diabetes, high blood pressure, Alzheimer's/Dementia--even Guillaume Barr syndrome
