You have most likely heard about the earthquake that hit Vanuatu on Tuesday. Vanuatu is part of District 9910, and we have been trying to establish communication with our Rotarians on the ground where possible, to assess the needs for an immediate response. It has been difficult.
There are two options for supporting this effort, and both ways, you can be sure that the funds will help directly:
1. Give a donation to the District 9910 Fund (NO tax deductibility, therefore suitable for club and district donations, for immediate funding availability), and / or
2. Give a donation to the Rotary Foundation Disaster Response Fund (WITH tax deductibility, therefore suitable for individuals, in support of a future Disaster Response Grant application that is being prepared based on the needs identified on the ground in Vanuatu).

Thanks to everyone who has made a donation. We have raised $850 and this has been paid via Dr Rizsa at Humanitarian Projects International (HPI) who will make sure the children at SACH receive our gifts for Christmas.
We have also received a Christmas Card from the home which I am sharing with you.
Once again, thank you for your compassion and commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of these children.

If you shop locally, a surprising amount of money remains circulating in the local economy compared to a minimal amount if you don’t. When profits stay local, community wealth increases, and that’s good for everyone.
Whilst in 2023/24 we had a very successful SACH project with the installation of the Biogas; for 2024/25 we have no major projects planned.
However we would still like to continue our Christmas sponsorship of the Children as we have done in the past.
So I am again requesting donations of $30 (or more as some members do).
These funds will help with Christmas celebrations and also for personal items for the children.

Once again, thank you for your compassion and commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of these children.
