Measles (Rotary New Zealand Support Appeal)

$1,605 donated

Given by 29 generous donors in around 3 months

“Rotarians throughout New Zealand stand alongside the Samoan Community in their loss and grief of so many beautiful children.

Nationwide

We are in daily communication with Rotary Apia by telephone. Rotary members there are working tirelessly “ New Zealand Rotarian Stuart Batty says. “ A Humanitarian Disaster in Samoa is taking place. Imagine visiting a preschool in New Zealand and going into a classroom with every seat empty because the children have died. That is the enormity of the situation.

We should all want to support our friends in Samoa as their need is now. The shortages in the hospitals and medical centres is acute. Whlist the Samoa and NZ Govts. are providing professional help, it is Rotary and other NGO’s that are providing most needed comforts.
