25.01.2022 As Adelaide shivers its way through yet another wet and wintry week, its easy to lose sight of the fact that not all areas of South Australia have been enjoying the benefits of decent rainfall.

22.01.2022 It is a couple years now since (then) Rotary Adelaide West members began to follow Jacks story. What a resilient young man he is. We wish Jack and his family all the best for what we suspect will be a very bright future.

22.01.2022 "I feel concerned about coronavirus because it is a dangerous disease. Even powerful countries in the world are afraid of this disease, so I am anxious for all ...of us here since we live in precarious conditions."

15.01.2022 Great work RAWCS - Rotary Australia World Community Service

15.01.2022 For hundreds of South Australians sleeping rough or without a permanent place to live, COVID-19 is making life terrifying, especially as the winter months set i...n. With no place to call home, and their health already compromised, theres no way to isolate or protect themselves. On top of all that, now people who are sleeping rough must do so in the bitter cold. The need in our community has never been greater and our services are under incredible pressure and with record job losses, many more face the risk of losing everything. We urgently need donations for our Winter Emergency Appeal to provide warm meals, emergency accommodation assistance and access to essential support services like medical care to as many people as possible at this critical time.

13.01.2022 eClub supports AFAR region, Ethiopia Rotary D9510online, eClub President PDG Eric C Russell MBE invites Clubs to partner with the recovery effort for the AFAR r...egion in Ethiopia. One of our overseas members, Valerie Browning lives and works as a volunteer in the AFAR. https://rotaryeclub.org.au/afar-valerie-browning/ After many years of drought, flooding rains have recently hit the region. Abida and her daughter (see photo below) found themselves holding the children to stop them from drowning. They were rescued by a government helicopter and brought to Hummadoyta, another sub-district in their district of Afambo. As they were evacuated, they brought nothing with them but the clothes they were wearing. They had lost their stock, their cooking utensils, their bedding all of their meagre possessions. https://rotaryeclub.org.au//eclub-supports-afar-region-et/

02.01.2022 Blankets and Food Appeal Although Government support via JobKeeper and JobSeeker are helping during this COVID-19 crisis, there are still many families and individuals who are ineligible and struggling to make ends meet. As a result, charities large and small are under enormous pressure to provide essential aid not only to their traditional clients, such as those experiencing homelessness and those escaping domestic violence, but also migrants, international students refugees.... A recent press report suggested something in the vicinity of a 750% increase nationally in people turning to charities for help this winter. While our Central Market food collections for the homeless are currently on hold, we are still keen to lend a hand to those in need. Blankets If you are able to donate any blankets in clean and good condition before August 27th, theyll be greatly received. Food & Household Items The second photo is a guide to the types of non-perishable foods and groceries charities love to receive. Any form of general household product youd use on a daily basis would be great: from paper towel to toiletries, canned food, pasta, cooking oil, spices, sauces, laundry and cleaning products. Our Club welcomes public support of this appeal. Contact us via messenger if youd like to contribute.
