Rotary Club of Carrollton Farmers Branch partners with Rotary Club of Mobay to bring Medical Supplies to the Cornwall Regional Hospital

A big THANK YOU to The Rotary Club of Carrollton-Farmers Branch in Texas who will once again partner with the Rotary Club of Montego Bay to provide Medical Supplies for the Cornwall Regional Hospital.

The Carrollton-Farmers Branch Club has partnered with our Club almost every year providing over US$200,000 worth of medical supplies and equipment to date. Past President Regina Edwards of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Club will take time out from her vacation in Jamaica with her family on the 28th of April to make the presentation to the Hospital with our Club.

The Cornwall regional Hospital is the premier public health care facility serving Western Jamaica and our own PP Bhagwan who acts as laiason with the Hospital was advised that its current urgent requirement is medical disposables.

Regina's son, Luke, convinced the Director of his pre-school, Mary Barter to get his school mates at the Bent Tree Child Development Center in Addison, Texas involved in the project. Luke and his friends made a poster (see photo above) to raise awareness and funds for the mission trip. Funds raised will go towards purchasing the disposables.

Says Regina, "We also found several Snoopy stuffed animals that the boys want to bring to give to the kids in the hospital. (They have a Hawaiian looking shirt on so they seem just right for Jamaica.)."

Special thanks to Regina, her Club and the Bent Tree Child Development Centre for their gracious act of kindness and taking this initiative once again to bring supplies to Jamaica!
