Our Rotary Club loves being involved in practical support to those in need. While we have a strong local focus, we also support a number of international projects. This week we heard from Rotarians John and Yvonne Mercer on their recent project evaluation of a NTA (East Indonesia) project we have contributed to in East Indonesia. A number of Canberra Rotary Clubs and Rotary International have contributed to these projects.
NTA (East Indonesia), a Canberra-based overseas aid NGO, have worked with local staff, government agencies and local NGOs to identify projects. East Indonesian families and communities are helped to self construct sustainable water, sanitation, agricultural and educational infrastructure and facilities.
It was wonderful and heartening to hear of the significant difference our small donations are making, enabling communities in East Indonesia to build wells, toilet blocks and school facilities, among other things. Check out NTA (East Indonesia) for more details.
