Welcome to Meeting No. 211 of the Rotary eClub of Latitude 38 

This week's meeting material

Cambodia rice drop, Siem Reap

We are here in Siem Reap! As you read this I will have just got off the plane but Janet and Grant have been here for a few days already. Time now to catch up with them to see what is on the shopping list for us to distribute to Cambodian children and local families. 

The plan for this trip is to purchase rice and essential food items and also bicycles for local families. Janet and Grant also have a large assortment of baby clothes to donate as well. We will also visit Free To Shine next Thursday and participate in their activity called 'A Mile in Serey’s Shoes '. Its not too late to donate via our GoFundMe page. Remember just a small donation can make a big change to the lives of the Cambodian children.

Upcoming Project Trips

In January 2020 I will visit Vietnam to donate funds for SAPP ( Sponsoring Association for Poor Patients ) for the purchase of Vietnamese Health Insurance Cards. If you can make a donation it would be greatly appreciated and will allow me to purchase more cards to assist needy Vietnamese in Ben Tre province. Visit our projects page to see photos and information from my trip early this year. 

Social Media Phishing

Being safe online is a topic that we have discussed before so I was interested to see this article from the Rotary Down Under Facebook page about the Rotaract Club of Canberra being targeted by a phishing scam. Read the story here

Amazing talk with Nicky Mih from Free To Shine in Cambodia on the 2nd Sep. Stay tuned for more details on how to watch that session on Youtube and details of our next speaker.
