| .jpg) Our next working bee - packing this container |
On a cold Saturday morning, Ariik Ariik, Tom Callender, Neville John, David Jones, Elias Lebbos, Bruce and Lyn McBain, Krystle Mitchell, Roger Thornton, Rohan Williams and Zhang Yan Pu joined Laurie Fisher and his team at Donations in Kind West Footscray for a working bee.
As the photos above show, Laurie kept us busy sorting recent donations of children's shoes and a variety of sporting balls and the very special job of sorting through a 40' container of donated goods suffering from water damage.
During a morning tea break, Laurie spoke to us about the many Rotary projects that DIK had enabled during its 19 years of operation and thanked our club for its ongoing support.
Sara, a hospital nurse, recently sourced a bariatric bed for a patient who needed a specialized bed for obesity and couldn't afford the cost of $10,000. DIK provided the bed and the patient was able to go home for the first time in 12 months. Sara was keen to see DIK and pay back something in kind by helping at the working bee.
We now look forward to our next working bee which will involve packing the container arranged by the Docklands branch to supply medical equipment to a clinic in Malawi.
