Review for Project Las Americas, Chesterfield, MO, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I first became acquainted with Project Las Americas and Bob Hildreth in 2004 on my first trip to the Dominican Republic with the Rotary District 6360 Children’s Safe Water Project. Since that time our Michigan-based Project has partnered with PLA and Bob on a number of projects and matching grants in several areas. My wife and I have made numerous trips to the DR to review project work, and have found Bob’s approach to helping people to find ways to change their life situations to be realistic and very successful. Everything done has been very transparent and truly oriented to what the recipients determine that they need and want. Bob’s ability to get people to take ownership for their own solutions is very refreshing.

We have made several personal contributions to PLA for specific projects, and my wife and I have found that we would trust Bob Hildreth with our personal checkbooks. As a District Governor for Rotary this year, I am helping to get several Clubs aligned with PLA so that they can undertake “signature” international projects in the DR specific to their members’ particular interests. I have no reservations about recommending PLA and Bob Hildreth to anyone looking for a partner in humanitarian projects, or considering a donation to PLA.
