ECUADOR EARTHQUAKE APPEAL

Wadebridge Rotary Club provides shelters for homeless Ecuadorians


 During April this year, a street collection was held for the earthquake appeal for Ecuador.   Wadebridge Rotary Club had links with the Rotary Club of Manta, in Ecuador when in 2004 members hosted a group of Ecuadorians visiting the area on a Rotary Group Study Exchange.   The collection, donations from individual Rotarians and from the club's charity account, amounted to £735.

Through personal contacts in Manta, Ecuador the local Rotary Club was sent the £735 to provide relief locally.   We have now received a letter of thanks from the Rotary Club President with details of how the aid money has been spent, together with photographs of shelters providing accommodation.
