A heartfelt message to Rotary from a couple who lost everything in the Wooroloo bushfires.

"On the 1st of February, our small community was devastated by the fire that raged through Wooroloo and Gidgegannup. We were one of the lucky ones who had a house standing after the fire went through (Just) but many of our neighbours, including my Auntie and Uncle down the road, lost everything.

We lost every structure except for the houses on our property; the sheds, the stable and chook run, 3 water tanks, a donga and all of our fencing. The clean-up process has been long and will continue for much longer- especially for those who lost their homes and are working on the demolition and rebuilding process.

Through this process we have received a huge amount of support from so many people and organisations. It has made it all bearable.

We recently received our container from Rotary and it means so much to our family. It is somewhere to store all of the bits and bobs like shovels and potting mix which we’ve had to buy since the fire and no longer have anywhere to store. Our container will eventually form part of a new shed structure which we will build to store tractors and trailers.

For my Aunty and Uncle who had their house and shed demolished last week, it is actually the only structure on their property at present. It represents a restart, a step forwards towards rebuilding their lives.

We cannot thank rotary enough for their generous donations to help rebuild our community- one container at a time.

Thank you to Pink Umbrella Foundation, a RAWCS champion, for your quick response to HandUp Congo’s shout-out to support women with fistula who have been displaced due to the Goma, DR Congo May 22 volcano eruption.

Tax deductibility through RAWCS: Project 47, Est 2015-16, Building a Healthy Congo, designate “volcano”. For info contact RAWCS project manager Lucy Hobgood-Brown on handupcongo@gmail.com. ...

With the recent Cyclone and flooding in the Highlands of Timor-Leste destroying the villager’s crops, and made worse by the growing lock downs due to Covid 19. where the numbers of affected people is growing to exceeding 100 in the Dili area.

Rotary Projects Timor-Leste (RPTLE) has been approached by the villagers to see if we could help with critical food aid as they were in danger of running out of food, and as the main government and other NGO's were concentrating their aid efforts in the Dili area where thousands are either homeless or in need of help. This meant that the Villagers east of Baucau were receiving none or very little help.

As a result, RPTLE and several Rotary clubs are considered a very valuable member of this Rotary Group, with the extra help from Rotary Clubs of Phillip Island and San Remo, Camberwell (Vic) Sydney cove (NSW) Kwinana (WA).

In the last couple of weeks, we have delivered, with the help of the local priests and the village community leaders, three truckloads of critical food aid totalling in excess of USD $7,000 to these villagers.

They thank you all and are indeed extremely grateful of your help.
Photos of the recent truck load being distributed to those most in need are attached. ... See MoreSee Less
