March 18, 2011 Bill Lawless made the following presentation:
"It is also a pleasure to personally thank Jan Townsend from Hearts and Hands who has made a significant contribution in helping get the application for TRF funding by working with the Guatemala Sur Club and ensuring they complete their obligations.

I was very pleased when the Foundation committee approached me and expressed their interest in recognizing Jan with a PHF from the club. This indicates to me the level of interest the club has in the Guatemala Project. Thank you on behalf of Building Basic Education in Guatemala."

Jan Thompson started the whole idea of Hearts and Hands in Guatemala. Calgary West joined in through Clarence and Evelyn Buckley's participation building stoves, classrooms, kitchens and latrines. Jan travels to Guatemala about four times a year to see the partnership continues to work under her direction.

When an embarrassed and surprised Jan was made a Paul Harris Fellow from her admirers from Calgary West Rotar she was very pleased to be recognised and honoured.
