What is Gifts4Grenada?

2010-03-29T13:31:00.000-07:00

Gifts4Grenada was created by Amanda Lynn Marshall, an outgoing 2010-2011 Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar sponsored by the Rotary District 5030. Amanda will be traveling to Grenada in July 2010 to work towards obtaining a MPH at St. George's University in Grenada. During her time in Grenada she will be volunteering with the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) and local orphanages. Prior to her departure, she decided to organize a supplies/donation drive to help collect goods/monetary donations for local community outreach organizations in Grenada (like the YWCA).
