Merreushi Village Clinic
Always interested in travelling to unique destinations to experience the vast spectrum of global cultures, Bill was enamored when he started to learn about Merreushi from a Woodland Park Zoo exhibit designer who grew up there. Wanting to maintain his spirit of service, Bill learned of the village’s need for a local clinic. He then spent a month travelling in the region with his family and local Masai warriors while he funded and managed the construction of a Merreushi Village Clinic. This clinic would later be supplied and organized by the University of Washington.
Albuerque Infantil Josefino is a shelter that provides a home, loving care and education for orphaned and abandoned children in Oaxaca, Mexico. The Albuerque was started by a group of local Oaxacan women and with the help of a grant from the State and a lot of hard work they've been able to create a comfortable and clean facility for the 50-60 children they are usually caring for.
Bill has visited Oaxaca numerous times to appreciate the art-rich mountain city, along with acting as a donor and consultant for Albuergue Infantil’s upcoming expansion.
