Thanks to your generous donations,
the first shipments of ShelterBox aid have arrived in Ukraine.
Thousands of our mattresses have arrived in Ukraine,
they will be distributed to collective centres in Lviv this week
, offering people somewhere to sleep and keep warm at night.
Bales of thermal blankets, pallets of Shelter Kits,
solar
lights and other essential items are on their way.
But our work doesn't stop there.
We also have a team working in Moldova,
where many people are fleeing from Ukraine.
The team have been visiting collective centres and working
to
understand what people need.
Your continuing support is helping us reach people
who urgently need shelter and support -
both within
Ukraine and in neighbouring countries.
National Flood Relief Appeal Distribution Australian charity,
Rotary Australia World Community Service,
today announced that funds raised via their
national Flood Relief Appeal for people impacted by
the current floods in Queensland and NSW
are now open for applications.
Local Rotary Clubs will be active in impacted areas
starting this week seeking applications from
families displaced due to
the Floods.
“When we launched the appeal one month ago we said the
money raised will go directly and quickly to support those impacted,
and we are pleased to be in a position to act
on that commitment today,”
said
Rotary Australia World Community Service Ltd CEO Andrew Woodward.
“The fact that some of the impacted areas are having to deal
with a second flood in a month is devastating,
and we hope that providing some quick financial support
will provide some short term relief and reduce the
mental health trauma being experienced,” Mr Woodward said.
Rotary Australia World Community Service has previously
raised money for Bush fire and Drought affected areas
and sees this disaster as just another where the network
of Rotarians can step in to assist.
Families that have been displaced should make contact
with their local Rotary Club to obtain the application form
for a $500
debit card (voucher).
Mr Woodward said that the voucher system being used
will provide support for not only the recipient,
but also the local community as the funds
are used within the community,
thus creating a multiplier effect for the families
and local businesses impacted by the floods.
Rotary Australia World Community Service is a not-for-profit charity
that aims to be a leading Australian charitable organization
for people’s well being, supporting Rotarians
and Rotary Clubs undertaking humanitarian projects
in Australia and overseas.
Tax Deductible Donations to the appeal can still be made

Very pleased to work in partnership with Assisi in
Uganda.
The Rotary Clubs of Attadale and Fremantle held their 13th annual
charity golf day at the Royal Fremantle Golf Club on Friday March 11
. A brief summary of the day is from the
photo story by Colin McCulloch.
We were very grateful to have LWP as our major sponsor again
and also thank our very generous minor sponsors: Cash Converters,
Neometals, Rallou, Ray White and the
Royal Fremantle Golf Club.
The beneficiaries were once again Spinnaker Health Research Foundation
and Care Cure Support (who
support Motor Neurone Disease).
Covid made the day more difficult to run in terms
of not only seeking donations,
but also complying with the strict precautions
and keeping everyone safe.
Three teams pulled out at late notice due to Covid
but we still had 32 teams of four who enjoyed a very hot day
out on the beautifully presented Royal Fremantle Golf Course.
The small organising committee led by Chairman Rodney Rate
did a superb job with the organisation and the day went off like clockwork.
Last year $56,068 was donated to our charities
, but because of Covid, the final amount raised this year
will
be below that, but still a significant amount.

Saturday 17 of us squeezed into two small buses to tour
the Ferguson Valley where the first stop was in Dardanup
for coffee and scrolls for some of us.
Then off to Gnomesville to introduce “Swannie” to other gnomes.
We also visited the spectacular Wellington Dam mural then into
the important part of the trip, three wineries and a brewery
where we had lunch
. For some reason a light pickie evening meal was had
after this well organised tour.
Sunday was again a free day so many members toured around
other local areas including Bunbury and Collie
while the evening BBQ was a good way to wind down
and work out where to go on our next weekend
away.
