Bobby Williams: “ShelterBox to Go to Burn Hospital in Paraguay”

The Rotary Club of Lawrenceville earlier in the year committed to an annual donation of a Shelter Box containing medical supplies to an area with serious shortages of medical equipment and supplies. At the January 27, 2014, meeting, President Nancy McGill presented the first of a series of $1,000 checks to Shelter Box representative Charles Dollar. Shriner Bobby Williams talked to the group about the destination for the first Box donated by the club. It will soon be going to a Shriner Hospital for burned children in Paraguay. He, along with Rotarian Davis Stevenson, visited the hospital a couple of times and spoke to the dire conditions and the need for equipment to save these children, all of whom have life-threatening burns. The Burn Center is crowded and needs just about everything. They have great doctors and nurses but need supplies. Williams told of various ways to further contribute to the cause, including ez-Pay options and an “un-candy” or “un-flower” gift to friends and loved ones.
