Ukraine New Dawn project donation
Some time ago DG nominee Tim Mee spoke to us about Rotary 9510's engagement with New Dawn in Ukraine.
 
Genesis of the Rotary-New Dawn Project
https://newdawn.org.ua/
 
The Ukraine Crisis Project has developed through Rotarians networking and working together. Maurice O’Connell from Adelaide who is a volunteer aid worker in Ukraine is not a Rotarian, but
has several friends who are. Through Maurice links have been established between Rotary in South Australia and Ukraine and New Dawn a Ukrainian NGO.
 
This project provides the opportunity for Rotarians in District 9510 to directly improve the lives of Ukrainians impacted by the conflict who are not receiving support from other aid organisations.
 
This is not a donate and forget project.
 
We have connections into Ukraine and we will see the tangible benefits of our donations.
 
 
 
The RCWL Board approved a $1,000 donation to Ukraine Crisis projects
 
 
from Tim
This donation is much appreciated, please pass on a big thank you to members in your club.
 
Best Regards
 
Tim Mee
