David was recently announced as one of the 14 finalists for the Utah Young Humanitarian Award. The winner of the award will be given a $5,000 scholarship. You can read the story here. David is quoted saying "It’s an exciting moment for me, but awards aren’t really what it’s about. It’s about the service." I believe he forgot what Doxey taught him in junior high school: "The best kind of service is disservice."
This is what is on the website for Youthlinc, the scholarship sponsor:
BYU Senior, David Williams, has served extensively with 2ft Prosthetics where he is the Executive Director and Chairman of the Board. He works with the non-profit to restore self-confidence to amputees in developing countries through the production and distribution of quality prostheses. He has also worked with BYU Global Engineering Outreach, Habitat for Humanity, and Kaizen, building wheelchair ramps at schools in Mexico. He served an LDS mission in St. Petersburg, Russia.
