23.01.2022 Exciting news! For TODAY ONLY Every donation will be DOUBLED! Be sure to sponsor our teams in the Ration Challenge today and your donation will be matched, dollar for dollar, by a generous group of Ration Challenge partners, but only until the matched giving pool exhausts. Who could say no to that?! ... Not only will you be having twice the impact but you’ll also be helping us earn extra food rewards twice as fast. We will be taking the Ration Challenge in a few weeks and eating the same rations as a refugee. There is no better time to sponsor us, and show we really are #inthistogether! Donate below to our team pages below, we thank you kindly https://actforpeace.rationchallenge.org.au/t/rotaractclubof https://actforpeace.rationchallenge.org.au/t/rotaractclubof

The supplies will be going to a local school in Timor that Rotary Burleigh Heads has helped construct.
