Rotary Project
The Rotary Club of San Nicolás de Los Garza, Mexico, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Austin, Texas, USA, engages in a project aimed at fighting diseases in Mexico. The clubs mobilized rural medical care to the rural communities in Mexico, where the people had no access to medical care (Garcia par 7). The Rotarians donated mobile health clinics with dental and medical supplies through some global grants. Most of the clinics in some parts of Mexico are miles away, and the underprivileged lack the resources to visit clinics where they can access medical care.
The mobile clinics provided by the Rotary clubs brought health care services close to the people benefiting thousands. Through a global grant from the Rotary Foundation of $50,000, which allowed the club to add more fleet equipped with dental, vision, and hearing supplies (Garcia par 9). The project addresses all the questions of the four-way test. The rotary clubs provided services genuinely (Truthfully) without wanting anything in return through determining the needs of the community.
The rotary clubs offered services equally and consistently to the people who need them from those people with poor vision, hearing problems, dental problems, among other health problems. Offering services consistently and equally answers the question of fairness to all the parties concerned (Garcia par 8). The action of the Rotary Club of San Nicolás de Los Garza was perceived positively by The Rotary Foundation, which offered a grant to help in equipping the mobile clinics is an indication of building better friendships and goodwill (Garcia par 9).
The rotary club provided a large number of resources that will be of help to the overall community’s health, which answers the fourth question. Those people who required medical attention that could be catered for through the mobile clinics were treated, while patients who could not be treated were referred to clinics or hospitals at relatively low or no costs at all.
