Sugar House Rotarians are active in humanitarian service -  using their special skills, education and talents (and sometimes good old elbow grease) to help others in developing nations.

 

  Sugar House Rotarians serving food at our annual Adoption Awareness Event August 30, 2017.  We join with the Division of Child and Family Services and the Adoption Exchange to bring together adoptable children and couples interested in adopting in a picnic environment.  This environment is relaxed and affords the opportunities for children and potential parents to interact in a relaxed environment.  Past events have had a remarkable success rate in having children adopted.

Critical Dental Procedures in Nepal - Wally Brown, DDS, retired endodontist, has traveled to Nepal numerous times with dental supplies and performed surgeries and extractions throughout Nepal. Access to many locations required long hikes to reach mountain villages. There are very few dentists in Nepal so teeth are often extracted because of a lack of resources to save teeth.
