On October 13, Col. Davis Stevenson, Ret., the Club’s International Service Chair, updated the group on the status and details of the project to get aid to the Burned Children’s Hospital in Asuncion, Paraguay.   He provided background on the geography of Paraguay and on the medical needs there.  With the common practice of open flame cooking, accidents occur with young children, and these children need a better equipped facility than is currently available.  He showed pictures of the bare and minimal hospital and surgical rooms and noted that many children die from infections.  Our Club is helping out by paying $18,000 plus shipping for a MedShare shipment of medical supplies and used equipment to that hospital and a couple of others. Volunteers for MedShare repackage damaged goods and used equipment which would be discarded, store them in a large warehouse, and then ship them out.  Each container has $154,000 worth of equipment and supplies.  He and other Rotarians plan a trip to Paraguay to be there when the equipment arrives.
