... Shaped Their Vision of Service Abroad.  

 

Late last fall these two Rotarians from the Huntsville noon-hour club came to tell us about their “Dream Team” fundraising plans to hike to the base camp of Mount Everest in support of SOS Children’s Villages and Dreams Take Flight charities.  Finally, after months of planning and fundraising, they arrived in Nepal on April 25th – the earthquake struck the country on April 26th

 

Kelly and Brandy shared a moving and thought-provoking slide show outlining their experiences over the next five days – it has to be seen to be believed - and even then it is hard to fathom.  The devastation, the death, and the near misses, along with stories of survival and rebuilding were riveting and humbling.

 

A detailed, striking slideshow helped us measure what they meant by devastating event.
