00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.100
My name is Kurt Betzel. I'm originally from Arlington, Texas.

2
00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:08.320
I am now a permanent resident of the Republic of Panama.

3
00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:14.700
I met Emily Tallendino and very quickly learned of our

4
00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:18.120
mutual love and passion for Rotary International.

5
00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:23.040
We both knew that for this community to

6
00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:28.320
progress, it could

7
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:30.220
with the presence of Rotary.

8
00:00:30.220 --> 00:00:36.020
My name is Alejandro Jonah. I grew up right here on this island and today I

9
00:00:36.020 --> 00:00:36.980
have the opportunity

10
00:00:36.980 --> 00:00:42.860
to be part of the new rotary club that we are opening here in Boca del

11
00:00:42.860 --> 00:00:43.320
Toro.

12
00:00:43.660 --> 00:00:49.510
Having clean drinking water is one of the most important things we can think

13
00:00:49.510 --> 00:00:50.570
about when we

14
00:00:50.570 --> 00:00:55.830
want to grow healthy and strong. I mean it's not a place where you can just simply

15
00:00:55.830 --> 00:00:56.350
open the

16
00:00:56.350 --> 00:01:02.310
facet you know and drink fresh water that is healthy. You would walk

17
00:01:02.310 --> 00:01:02.830
around the

18
00:01:02.830 --> 00:01:08.210
community and you would see the children with their big tummy you know

19
00:01:08.210 --> 00:01:10.090
and not

20
00:01:10.090 --> 00:01:15.890
full of energy as children usually are and well once there was

21
00:01:15.890 --> 00:01:17.310
improvement in

22
00:01:17.310 --> 00:01:23.250
their health and once they got fresh and clean water to drink I

23
00:01:23.250 --> 00:01:23.670
mean you could

24
00:01:23.670 --> 00:01:25.030
and see the difference immediately.
