Rotarians donate for Japan’s recovery


GANGTOK: The Rotary Club of Gangtok, South, at its weekly meeting [held on 16 March], passed a resolution expressing deep sorrow on the loss of thousands of lives, displacement of millions and destruction of property of unaccountable magnitude in the current natural disaster in Japan, informs a press release.
The meeting resolved to provide financial assistance for rehabilitation efforts in Japan. Some members contributed amounts equivalent to one hundred dollars, the release informs. The contributions collected will be sent to the Rotary Foundation which has already set up a separate fund, “Rotary Japan Pacific Islands 2011 Disaster Recovery Fund” for this purpose. This Fund will be utilized exclusively for recovery efforts in Japan and not for immediate relief measures, adds the release.
