Lewisville Morning Rotary and San Pedro Curridabat Rotary to build Mobile Dental Clinic The Lewisville Morning Rotary and Rotary Club of San Pedro Curridabat are directing this effort to provide dental services to communities in Costa Rica. The three ton, 320 square-foot steel containers are typical of those seen in shipping yards except, for being transformed into a mobile solar-powered dental clinic by using two containers that are joined by a common roof and interstitial floor space to create an 823 square foot dental clinic. The inside, fitted with wall paneling and flooring, three dental chairs, an office, a reception, and waiting area, and restrooms. Our clubs have submitted a $55,000 Global Grant request to The Rotary Foundation to purchase and install equipment for three dental chairs, an office, a reception, and waiting area, and restrooms. Currently, we need an additional $25,000 in pledges to complete the processing of the grant. Clubs can pledge to this project at MatchingGrants.org by clicking here. |
