True to our principle of supporting children and youth, from Rotary Canarias we have joined forces with the 10 Rotary clubs of the archipelago and, with the support of the Rotary district 2201 and the Humanitarian Foundation of Spanish Rotarians, we launched the project « ROTARY EDUCATIONAL CENTER IN LA PALMA» with the aim of building a school to replace one or more of the unitary schools destroyed by the eruption.
For its construction, we have the support and commitment of the Government of the Canary Islands, who will provide the land and equipment.
