On the international level, the Rotary Club of Lakeport has been personally involved in and financially supported the highly acclaimed Rotaplast Program . The Rotaplast program recruits teams of medical personnel, supported by Rotarian volunteers, who travel to underprivileged countries, such as Guatemala, Chile, and others, and perform surgeries specializing in facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate.  To date, three members of the Lakeport Rotary Club have traveled to Guatemala and worked as civilian volunteers in support of these medical teams.
