otary International in Great Britain and Ireland, is an organisation of

• The Army Benevolent Fund • Shelter Boxes for Haiti • Polio Eradication Project More recently there was a fund raising effort for the floods in Pakistan for which member Graham Payne gave this update and thanks: The Rotary Club of
Chandlers Ford & Itchen Valley would like to thank
the members of the public who gave so generously to our appeal for funds to supply emergency shelter accommodation,
water
purification equipment, tools and clothing to the victims of the disastrous flooding in Pakistan. We are most grateful to the
Waitrose Store in Chandlers Ford for facilitating our collection on their premises. This Aid Equipment is
packaged in the form of a large Shelter Box and thanks to the generous donations received from the public on a recent Saturday in August, we will be able to fund at least four such boxes. The photograph shows
two of our Rotarians with a Shelter Box taken at our collection.
