If you are an Afghan refugee where do you turn for help when you know nobody?
A telephone call, conversation with a request for help, a suggestion, further telephone calls and a positive
outcome was achieved.
Welcome to the world of The Rotary Foundation with the motto – “Doing Good in the World”
Rotarians from the Rotary Clubs of Adelaide (Julie Johnson), Gawler Light (David Cockshell, Vicki De-Wit
and Joan Tingey), Playford (Derek Burcham) Edwardstown (John Price) Onkaparinga (Yousif Murad),
and Seaford (Ian Renshaw), were able to swing into action to assist the 89 Afghanistan’s who arrived
on Wednesday morning (August 26) from war torn city of Kabul. In urgent need of clothing and toys for
children, local Rotarians were able to call on Donations in Kind (DIK) to assist with these items.
To meet a tight schedule – David, who is also the Manager
of DIK, with his team of Rotarians and friends were able to
select and pack the required items in need – clothes, bed
sheets, pillow slips, towels, crockery, cutlery, drinking
glasses, suitcase, food storage containers, soft toys etc.
With the help of John and his trailer, were able to transport
the items to Treasure Boxes (Edwardstown) on Saturday
and meet the closing time of 2pm. John even changed his
Saturday plans to assist.
Treasure Boxes (Edwardstown) is a volunteer organization
which assists new international arrivals to Adelaide.
It also assists babies, children, teens, parents or caregivers in South Australia who need help securing
essential items of need.
Of the 89 Afghanistan’s who arrived from Kabul, some are Australian citizens and the others have been
granted humanitarian visas (but not permanent residency).
