In late October a band of members headed out to Edinburgh Donations In Kind/Rotary Australia Repurposing Equipment warehouse in Edinburgh.
As per normal we were allocated various tasks to clean up, sort, prepare goods for repurposing.
A number of items are being aggregated to send off to a health care unit in the southern Philippines. The cost of a container to send in Q1/Q2 2024 will be approaching A$9,000!
As part of the Club's commitment to Rotary International and humanitarian projects, apart from volunteering, from time to time we provide funds to assist the projects being undertaken.
At the Club's Board meeting of 31 October, there was agreement to donate A$5,000 to RARE for the Southern Philippines project.
Thanks to all for the volunteering effort and fundraising to allow this to occur.
