The Rotary Club of Ajijic recently hosted 38 sixth grade students who attend school in the upper reaches of the Copper Canyon.
The trip (the tenth such venture for children of that area) was organized by hotel owner and Rotarian Doug Rhodes.
Rhodes approached the Rotary clubs of Lakeside and Guadalajara last year to bring this trip to fruition.
“The idea is to reward these kids for sticking with school,” said Rhodes. “It isn’t always easy for them because there are no school buses and many of the kids have to walk more than an hour each way to attend school.”
