Leah McIntyre and UMKC Enactus
Ecuador Mission Trip
Our speakers will be Alejandro Hernandez, Imani Lemon, and Leah McIntyre. All are members of UMKC Enactus. As many of the Plaza Rotarians know, Enactus is an international social entrepreneurship organization that encourages students to create positive change using the 17 UN Sustainable Development goals as a guide. UMKC Enactus originally connected with the Plaza Rotary and became a Rotaract Club in 2017. This year, they have been working to re-establish and strengthen the relationship between our organizations.
 
In September, Alejandro, Imani, and Leah got the opportunity to travel to Ecuador with the Kansas City based nonprofit, Agua Viva International. On this culturally immersive trip, they supported Agua Viva's mission to provide purified water to remote communities and explored opportunities for UMKC Enactus to solve problems and create impacts internationally.
