THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATION
Thanks to your generosity, we have made 38 kids very happy this Easter!! Thank you to those who donated Easter Baskets this week for Children's First. What a great way to honour the memory of Mark Donlon by continuing on with his tradition!
Eyeglasses Donation
The Rotary Club of Windsor (1918) has recently donated a collection of gently used eyeglasses with support from optometrist, Janice Bellemore, Don Marsh, Janet Kelly and Dr. Ashok Rajan.
We would like to thank, Janice and her group of dedicated volunteers who helped to clean, group, labelled, and arrange these glasses into ten office
boxes.
We also have to thank the members of the World Community Service, Don Marsh, and Ashok Rajan as well as the chair of WCS, Janet Kelly for getting these glasses to those in need, both in India (Gandevi Rotary Club) and indigenous communities in Thunder Bay and Sudbury. The indigenous groups in need were identified by Rotarian Suzanne Grouette and former Rotarian Theresa Schuurman, with financial support from Rotarian, Janice Forsyth.
Mr. Parimal Naik from Gandevi Rotary club, India advised our WCS team that they have a well-functioning eye care program for the poor and tribal population in their area and offered his club’s support in carrying out the program.
Thanks to our clubs' collaborative efforts, the eyeglasses were mailed to the recipients in the first week of April 2022 and we expect that all 3 groups should receive their donations shortly!

As one of the world’s largest humanitarian organizations, Rotary has made peace the cornerstone of our global mission. We are deeply concerned about the Ukraine crisis and need your help.
Rotary is made up of people of action, especially in difficult times. In response to the deepening refugee crisis, The Rotary Foundation Trustees have decided to prioritize contributions made to the Disaster Response Fund until 30 April 2022 to support disaster response grants for districts affected by these events. These expedited disaster response grants can be used to supply water, food, medicine, shelter, and clothing.
Half a million people have fled Ukraine and are in dire need of emergency aid. The United Nations estimates that the number of refugees could grow to as many as 5 million people displaced. Rotary clubs in Europe and around the world have stepped up their relief work, some working on the ground to help displaced families.
With your donation to our Disaster Response Fund, we can support communities and help rebuild lives during this tragic time.
In recent days, homes in Ukraine have been damaged or destroyed. Innocent civilians are being killed, families and lives are being torn apart. The UN is reporting hundreds of thousands of people on the move inside the country or trying to leave. They are predicting as many as 12 million people may need humanitarian assistance inside Ukraine.
Additionally, the UN predicts that as many as 4 million refugees may be seen as a result of this crisis. More than 874,000 people are reported to have already fled Ukraine to neighbouring countries [as of Tuesday 1 March 2022].
ShelterBox is responding to the Ukraine crisis. A team is on their way. We will be sending aid and are working to understand who is doing what so we can avoid duplication and get as many people as possible the support they need.
We are liaising with Rotary and Rotaract leadership and members in the region to coordinate information and better understand the situation. We have connected with District 2231 in Poland and with the wider regional coordination framework under RI Director Katarina Kotsalis.
We need your help.
Your District's support today will provide lifesaving aid for families affected by the Ukraine crisis. Any additional money raised will help ShelterBox provide emergency shelter to families affected by disasters around the world.
As official Project Partners in international disaster relief, Rotary and ShelterBox work together to ensure no one is left without shelter after disaster. Donating to ShelterBox is the best way Rotarians can take immediate action to help families affected by disasters around the world.
Donations can be made online through the button below or by mailing a cheque to ShelterBox Canada, 159 Jane Street, Office 2, Toronto, ON,
