The Christchurch Rotary Earthquake Appeal Fund has changed its name to the one given above, as it has now been registered as a trust. It is receiving applications and distributing funds to projects and causes which are a direct need from earthquake consequences. Fundraising is an indirect consequence and therefore projects being identified by Rotary clubs are not always a priority for Trust consideration.
The committee has been meeting every three weeks to consider applications to this fund. Many of the requests have been for very worthwhile purposes and the committee members have been touched by the sad situations many people and organisations have found themselves in as a result of the earthquakes and aftershocks. In addition, there are worthwhile efforts being made to help those in the community who were badly affected, and it is encouraging to see projects designed to rebuild lives and foster resilience.
The last report from this committee listed a large number of Rotary clubs, both in New Zealand and overseas, who have contributed to this fund and their generosity has made it possible for the committee to approve a wide range of applications.
Thanks must also go to some of the Christchurch Rotary Clubs who have been very diligent in seeking out organisations affected by the earthquake and encouraging them to apply. We hope their efforts continue.
