India Covid-19 Crisis - Fundraising Dinner

The Covid – 19 Pandemic has no discrimination of race ,creed or religion and does not spare where you are and where you come from. Even the young are vulnerable. Today the epi-centre is India.

The media described it as a Tsunami. 400,000 daily cases and a daily death rate of 4000. This I understand is under recorded. Hospitals are running out of medical supplies, beds, oxygen and medical staff and volunteers are stretched to their limits working 24 / 7. Crematoriums are also stretched beyond words. Furnaces melting, bodies are lined up for a basic performance of last rites and they are running out of firewood.

The Rotary Club of Campbelltown is currently working with the Rotary Club of Madras South to provide assistance to the victims and their families.

A fund raising dinner will be held on Saturday 19th June 2021 at the San Giorgio Club for the purpose.
