Jonathan Hinshelwood

Who would have ever dreamed twenty years ago when Jonathan was just a cute little boy running around the gym at my church that one day he would be in medical school and spending part of his summer working with me in BCI. Jonathan graduated in 2006 from the University of South Carolina with a degree in Chemical Engineering and is now a second year medical student at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine. Jonathan was one of the initial three students to visit Bolivia as part of our first BCI student internship. Along with Daniel Eggart and Will Bynum, the three returned to Columbia, SC with a genuine heart for the children in the Viedma Burn Center in Cochabamba, Bolivia and formed an organization Medical Students for Burn Center Viedma (ms4bcv). See their video on the link at the left and participate in their online fundraiser!! Their fundraiser makes it easy to give up just one small luxury item for three weeks and help change lives at the same time!
