Richard Lawrence received the award for his countless hours and dedication to providing clean water and sanitary services for impoverished areas of Guatemala. Rick worked with Rotary clubs from around the region and collected funds to benefit the project. This includes water wells for villages with no potable water supply as well as sanitary services for villages without them. Rick has visited Guatemala many times over the years and the Manchester Rotarians thank him for making us proud!
