PHUKET: The Rotary Club of Patong Beach is collecting money for the victims of the recent Nepal earthquake on behalf of all Phuket and the collected money will be sent through Rotary channels direct to Rotary Clubs in the disaster areas.
This will guarantee that all funds make it to the victims because Rotary is a 100 percent volunteer organisation and no funds given for charity are ever used for administration costs.
From President Brad Kenny of the Rotary Club of Patong Beach: ''This all relates back to how many people helped us during our time in need, the 2004 Asia Tsunami.
''The Rotary Club of Patong Beach had more than 1 million US dollars donated from people around the world for our relief work in Thailand.
''This is our way to acknowledge how the world opened their hearts to us and to give back on behalf of all Phuketians.''
As we collect funds, every week or so, they will be released and on their way to the victims through Nepalese Rotary Clubs.
Those wishing to donate money for this specific cause should visit rotarypatong.org and click on ''Bank Account Details'' for directions.
All donations must be followed up with an email or phone call to Mr Kenny, with details of the amount and that it is earmarked for the Nepal disaster relief fund.
Brad Kenny's email is president@rotarypatong.org and his phone number is 081-633-4279.
