District 9705 clubs called on to support rebuilding of a paediatric hospital destroyed by the 4 August explosion.
 
Rim El Kadi PHF is a member of the Rotary Club of Canberra and was a Rotarian in Beirut prior to coming to Australia. She has been in touch with her former club and addressed what help is needed, to members of the Rotary Club of Canberra and a number of other clubs in a presentation this week.
 
Rim’s presentation was filmed and will be available for viewing as soon as possible on the District Website and Facebook. She has made a plea to as many clubs throughout D9705 to assist if they can. Donations can be made to the Rotary Club of Canberra Project Account. The money collected will be sent directly to Rim’s previous Rotary Club in Beirut and specifically dedicated to the rebuilding of the paediatric hospital.
