We were reminded at our April 19 meeting of Rotary’s impact far beyond Hamilton and Robbinsville. Chuck Conner of the Ripley, WV Rotary Club visited us to report on a recent aid trip to help families and schools in Nepal. Our club had donated $1,000 to provide medicines for participants in a free health camp in Dubung, a community of 150 households spread across three hamlets in the hills of western Nepal. The health camp was just one of the features of the aid trip - Chuck’s 13th to the region - that delivered school supplies and uniforms, essential health kits, games and sporting equipment and so much more to a grateful region. Chuck is the brother of Linda Gearren, a member of the Board of Directors of the Rotary Club of Robbinsville Hamilton. |
