Recently, the Rotary Club of Summerland donated CAD2000 to a project in Nepal to supply crucial medical equipment for medical students who are studying to become doctors in the 4 rural hospitals in Nepal. Dr. Janice Routledge and Dr. David Omand volunteer in Nepal to teach these medical students and prepare them for their future duties.
This small project came out of the connections and network Aart Dronkers built in Nepal in 2015, as well as his friendship with Dr. Denis Brown (deceased), Dr. Janice Routledge and Dr. David Omand. Aart did his Himalaya Trek in 2015 with Janice & David. The larger medical program is coordinated by the McMaster Medical University and Dr. Janice Routledge and Dr. David Omand volunteer for this program. The program has been going on successfully for quite a while.
COST: $20/person
