We're sure that everyone has been touched in some way by the terrible disaster in Beirut. The details below outline a bit more of just how devastating it has been to the whole country of Lebanon. In that light, our club executive met this evening and will now pledge $2,000 towards this appeal. That has largely been made possible through our recent support of the Hectorville Sports and Community Club Inc cooking BBQs for them while they've been away from their usual home at Daly Oval. If you would like to support this appeal personally then you can do so through RAWCS at the link below, which is one of the charitable arms of Rotary and allows tax deductible donations. You can be very sure that Rotarians on the ground in Beirut are working very hard to support the victims and will make sure all funds are used in the most effective ways possible.Support the people of Beirut through the Rotary Beirut Explosion Disaster Fund.

On 4 August 2020, a catastrophic blast took out the commercial port of Beirut, causing 191 deaths, 6,500 injuries, US$10-15 billion in property damage, and leaving an estimated 300,000 people homeless.

Prior to the explosion, the people of Lebanon were already facing an economic and humanitarian crisis, as well as dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

The destruction from the explosion has been widespread, with about 40 per cent of Beirut severely damaged. According to WHO reports, impacts on health infrastructure include three hospitals rendered non-functional, three substantially damaged, 500 hospital bed equivalents lost, and many primary care facilities damaged. Essential food and medical supplies were also affected, along with countless schools, and commercial and residential buildings.
There are critical short- and long-term problems to overcome.

The Lebanese people are known for their welcoming and friendly nature and have been arrivals to our country for over 140 years, bringing a richness of cultural diversity with them. They have supported Australia through wars and natural disasters and, as their families have melded into the fabric of our society, we feel for the people of Beirut.

The Rotary Beirut Explosion Disaster Fund is an Australia-wide Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) appeal providing funds for humanitarian programs to assist the people of Beirut recover from this disaster.

Funds will be allocated to projects that assist in rebuilding and equipping the public facilities so their public services can perform the tasks required look after the community’s needs.

We had another great day out at the Campbelltown Memorial Oval supporting the Hectorville Sports and Community Club Inc junior footballers with a bit of well needed sustenance. We'll be there every Sunday until mid-September and for fans of the Magill Sunrise Market you'd better note that Robyn's famous Zucchini Fritters are available. We're not only helping out Heccies but making up some of the lost ground over the past few months for our club fundraising efforts, which is great. Drop by and see us one Sunday! ...
