Donations In Kind is the program whereby Rotarians and Rotary Clubs source surplus goods and products within Australia that have no further use here. These goods however, are valuable to those in needy countries. A central co-ordination committee stores, packs and dispatches the goods to those needy countries.
Books to Developing Countries

Remember, one of the greatest gifts we can give children is the gift of an education.

Set up an A4 box on the members check in desk for one month to collect the glasses. You’ll be surprised at the result. Just think about all those old glasses put at the back of the drawer. (Click here for more information)
