Disaster Aid Australia, an Australian Rotary Club project, together with its international partners, (also all Rotary Club projects) is proud to report on how we as Rotarians, with the assistance of our generous donors, have and are making a difference to the people of Cagayan de Oro, the worst hit region following Cyclone Sendong in the Philippines.
Jenni Heenan, CEO of Disaster Aid Australia said, "with the incredible assistance of our partner on the ground, the Balay Mindanaw Foundation Inc. (BMFI) www.balaymindanaw.org another not-for-profit organisation, our aid has been hailed as professional and exceptionally effective. None of this would have been possible without BMFI and their tireless volunteers, their connections to the Government, politicians, the Army, Air Force, locals affected by the Cyclone and many other groups."
"Truck loads of volunteers have arrived every day to assist us in delivering our unique shelter in the form of our Family Survival Boxes, clearing land so survivors are housed with dignity," Jenni said.
"With the assistance of other NGOs and volunteers we are also providing sanitation, water, education facilities, lighting. We are truly making a real difference – together," Jenni said.
