Local Rotarians Support The Kellermanns
After local Rotarians donated over $46,000 , The Rotary Foundation funds increased the budget to $85,000.
Over $30,000 has been spent in Uganda to purchase` an ambulance, a solar system for the hospital, beds, medicine and many day to day necessities.
The balance of the funds were used to buy the new x-ray, and dental equipment, two large generators both, as well as shipping costs to deliver the a fully loaded container from Nevada City around the world to the Bwindi Medical `Centre in Buhoma, Uganda.
Thank You
Donald “Fultzee” Fultz, President-Elect, Nevada City Rotary Club wishes to thank Nevada County and fellow Rotarians.
Well over 100 Rotarians from our five local Rotary clubs were joined by a scored of non-Rotarians to raise funds, build a modern x-ray suite inside a shipping container, and collect the over 12,000 pounds of medical/dental gear that is being shipped to Uganda.
This outstanding effort proves once again that “He who `serves best, profits most”. Every person who played a part in this effort has come away richer from the experience.
