Much has happened since our last update
The past few weeks have been a trying time for many,
with record-breaking floods affecting much of the East Coast,
leaving thousands of houses and businesses damaged
and many people left homeless or without work.
ShelterBox staff have been amongst the thousands of volunteers
that have been helping with co-ordination, delivery of donated goods
and the massive task of clear-up.
Due to logistical and capacity challenges,
a ShelterBox response was not possible at this time,
hence no appeal was launched. Instead, we recommend
that anyone wishing to support local flood relief, go
the Rotary Australia World Community Service appeal page.
ShelterBox is responding to the Ukraine crisis.
We have a team in Poland and aid is on the way.
We are working on three projects
– two within Ukraine and one to support refugees
fleeing the county.
We are sending mattresses to ‘collective centres’ like schools,
churches, and sports centres in western Ukraine.
This will ensure people who have fled their homes
have somewhere to sleep and
keep warm at night.
We are preparing to provide shelter kits with tools and rope,
high thermal blankets, hygiene kits
(including items like soap, washing powder and toothpaste),
solar lights, buckets and water carriers to help people survive
in buildings damaged by the conflict.
We will be supporting refugees in neighbouring countries
with high priority items they can carry with them,
like hygiene items
and warm winter coats.
Thanks to all those that have generously contributed to our
. With the UN putting the number of refugees fleeing
the country now at 3 million, and millions more displaced
with Ukraine,
the need is only going to grow, as the conflict continues

Thornlie Probus Club - the very first Probus Club in WA!
and was chartered when Ron Sloan was District Governor in 1982
There are now 95 clubs with approximately 5800 members in WA
and over
1700 clubs in Australia with more than 125,000 members.
What is Probus?
It’s probably the most widely recognised organisation for active retirees.
A Probus Club is an association of retired and semi-retired people
who join together to provide regular opportunities for them
to keep their minds active, expand their interests
and to enjoy the fellowship of new friends.
Sponsoring and supporting Probus Clubs
is a Community Service activity
of Rotary Clubs. Each Probus Club is aligned with a Rotary District
and, once Rotary sponsors a Probus Club,
it can operate independently within the parameters of Probus’
Constitution and accreditation requirements
. Importantly, Probus Clubs must be non-profit making
and cannot set themselves
up as fund-raising organisations.

The Rotary Club of Fremantle is continuing to extend support to international
small commercial ventures by participating in micro loans through Kiva. Kiva
is an international not for profit organisation with a mission to expand financial access
to help communities thrive.
This is done by crowdfunding loans and unlocking capital for people
who would otherwise had no access to borrowed funds.
Fremantle Rotary is now supporting 19 small businesses in 15 countries.
14 of the loans are already on the way to being repaid.
The remaining loans are recent.
