Project GIIVE (Guatemalan Infrastructure Improvement Venture) is a joint effort among the Rotary Clubs of Caribou, Fort Fairfield, Limestone, Mars Hill, Presque Isle, Washburn and Perth-Andover, N.B. that has been proposed to aid a village near the city of Monterrico, Guatemala, in cooperation with the Guatemalan Rotary Club La Ermita. The clubs are seeking a grant that would help to pay for eco-stoves, water filtration devices and eco-toilets. In Houlton are, from left, Virginia Joles, incoming district governor; Carl Young, president, Fort Fairfield club; Josie Lopez, member, Fort Fairfield; Matthew Nightingale, president, Houlton club; Gina LeBlanc-Eggert, vice president, Presque Isle club; and Ed Wright, foundation chair, Mars Hill club.
