A group of Brimbank Rotarians has pitched in to help residents of the Philippines still recovering from deadly Typhoon Haiyan.
The Rotary Club of Brimbank Central recently shipped more than 420 boxes of goods, weighing more than 6.5 tonnes, to the Philippines Red Cross following the typhoon which ripped through the country on November 8 last year, killing more than 5000 people. Goods including clothing, building materials, tools and non-perishable food were sent in a large shipping container donated by Navia Logistics.
The club spent two months collecting and packing the goods, which will be distributed by the Rotary Club of Metro Iloilo.
More than $7000 was also raised, which will be used to buy food and medical supplies that are urgently needed by typhoon survivors.
