Rotaractors, Interactors aid victims of Nepal earthquakes
(from "Young Leaders In Action" - May 2015)
Interact, Rotaract, and Rotary clubs around the world are mobilizing to support communities in Nepal affected by two devastating earthquakes.
Rotaractors in Kathmandu teamed up with ShelterBox to provide information from the affected areas to ensure that tents, blankets, and other vital supplies reached those most in need. Clubs worldwide, like this Interact club in Australia, are holding fundraising events for Nepal. Rotaract clubs in the U.S. and in Malaysia activated their Rotaract networks to connect directly with communities in need. By reaching out to twin clubs in Nepal, utilizing the Rotaract Directory to contact Rotaractors, and engaging their friends on social media, Rotaract and Interact members demonstrate how we can all take action to make a difference in the world.
But there is still so much more that you can do:
- Start a fundraising campaign on Rotary Ideas to support a partner Rotary club or Rotaract club in Nepal.
- Make a donation to Rotary partner ShelterBox to provide supplies and emergency shelter to families.
- Share on social media how your local Rotary community is supporting Nepal with #NepalEarthquake.
