Extract from Shelterbox Australia letterTürkiye and Syria Earthquakes Emergency Appeal
Dear ROTARY I am writing to you today to ask for your support. Thousands of families have lost their homes after a series of powerful earthquakes ravaged southern Türkiye (formerly Turkey) and northern Syria. The humanitarian need is immense and growing – it's the most devastating earthquake to hit the region in 100 years and could become the worst. The earthquakes destroyed thousands of homes, municipal buildings and infrastructure. Freezing temperatures, snowfall and heavy rain pose a real threat to life for people whose homes are now rubble or unsafe to use. This is a humanitarian crisis of tragic proportions. The number of people affected is massive. But we can help and make a difference. We must reach out to the earthquake survivors and make sure they receive shelter quickly to protect them against the freezing cold. Our emergency response team is on its way to the region to assess which communities are most in need and how we can help. For example, items like tents and shelter kits, stoves, thermal blankets and clothing could keep people warm through the freezing winter nights. Or solar lights could help people when there is no electricity. We urgently need your help to reach as many affected families as possible. Please donate today; your support will provide life-saving aid for families made homeless by a disaster. Many thanks for your support Mike Mike Greenslade CEO ShelterBox Australia |

Hello,
Reaching out to let you know about our upcoming Tool Skills Day on March 1st in Asquith. In partnership with nbnco, this program is about building confidence, and getting your hands on the tools to experience a 'day in the life' of a trade/trades-based job. The day will incorporate positive psychology, soft skills and of course learning to use some of the tools of the trade. Perfect for anyone looking to explore trades as a career opportunity, in a safe space. We encourage all diverse backgrounds to join us. Lower age limit: 17 years old (we have Working with Children Checks) Upper age limit: None We'd love if you could pin the attached flyer on your community notice board/send out, and please feel free to share with those who may be interested. At the end of the day there will be opportunities to apply for traineeships with nbnco, and also with other organisations and trades. The program is free of cost to all participants, however we do require an online application form to be completed here: https://form.jotform.com/EWIT/nbnco If you have any questions, please do email or call me directly. With thanks, Hannah
