News from the UK helping PNG Earthquake victims

You may recall I visited your Club in Caloundra last October whilst enjoying a two week stay with my old friend Ray White.

 

Although it was not possible to give you a proper presentation on our Rotary Water-Survival Box project I believe I did give a little background whilst describing my 30 years in Rotary.

 

For your information, we have offered a quantity of our WSBs to the Rotary Clubs of Boroko/Port Moresby and Mount Hagen following a request from President Russell Jackson who had visited us last summer.  The current stumbling block is onward transportation from Port Moresby to Mount Hagen but we note from your DG’s request for help that the Defence Forces of PNG, Australia and New Zealand are providing helicopter and fixed wing support.

 

I have asked Russell Jackson to see if the Defence Forces could airlift our aid from Port Moresby into the Mount Hagen area for distribution by the RC of MH in partnership with a Nazarene Church group in the Southern Highlands area.  Hopefully we will get the green light to proceed on this basis.

 

In Rotary friendship
