The Rotary Club of York North, joined by the Rotary clubs of York, York East, Lancaster, and Red Lion/Dallastown, are providing medical equipment for multidisciplinary intervention for neurodevelopment in southern Argentina.  The $132,958 global grant project is supported by $17,270 in 7390 District Designated Funds.  The 7390 Rotarians are partnering with the RC of Rio Grande, district 4921, to implement this project.

 

The equipment will be used to assess children and teens who may have autism, epilepsy, ADHD, Tourette’s or congenital neurological disorders. RC of York North became aware of the need for this equipment from a 2005 Youth Exchange Student to District 7390, Sole Gallardo, who is now an active Rotarian and lives in the area served by this project.  She contacted her sponsoring club and explained the serious need to help children in a very poor community. York North responded with its own funds and secured additional donations from four other 7390 clubs.
