Welcome to Rotary District 9930 ~ New Zealand

District 9930 lies in the heart of the North Island.   It is a land rich in history, in agriculture, in tourism, and in technology.   
 
The little village of Maketu is the site of one of the earliest Maori settlements in Aotearoa (New Zealand). Many towns of the East Cape region of our district share these Maori cultural roots, as do most communities in our district. The Coromandel Peninsula towns of Thames and Paeroa witnessed the gold rush fever of the 19th century.  Tourism flourishes in Rotorua, Mt Maunganui, Hawkes Bay, and Taupo. Agriculture abounds from the kiwifruit orchards of the Bay of Plenty to the dairy farms of the Waikato, to the vineyards of Hawke's Bay, to the vast forests of the central region. Our largest city Hamilton is a hub of technology and higher education, and New Zealand's largest port, Tauranga, drives the economy of our entire region.
 
And in every one of the areas, you will find Rotary clubs that serve their local communities as well as Rotary's global mission. We are 47 clubs powered by nearly 1,250 Rotarians.

Dear Rotary.  Kia ora.

Myanmar and Thailand have been struck by a devastating 7.7 magnitude
earthquake, causing widespread destruction. Tremors were felt as far as
China when the earthquake hit central Myanmar.

The full extent of damage is as yet unknown, but early reports show
significant destruction across both Myanmar and Thailand.

*ShelterBox is sending a team to Thailand.  This crisis and response
will draw heavily on already stretched resources.*

DONATE directly & securely

Myanmar’s authorities have made a rare request for international
humanitarian aid and declared a state of emergency across six regions.
Similarly, Thai authorities have declared a state of emergency in
Bangkok, where buildings are not

designed to withstand such shocks.  Vulnerable people in these countries
will certainly be rendered homeless and in need of emergency shelter.

Our ShelterBox team in Thailand will coordinate efforts and determine
how best to support those affected. Your support is crucial in making
this response possible.

We have experience supporting people in Myanmar and Thailand.

*This is a huge humanitarian crisis. *We are grateful for your
consideration and any support you can lend.

Brent Eddy, Chair, ShelterBox New Zealand Charitable Trust

*Your donation today will help families made homeless by disaster or
conflict, wherever the need is greatest.*

Thank you for helping us turn despair into hope for people all over the
world displaced from home as a result of disaster or conflict.

Whakawhetai ki a koe mo to atawhai. Haere pai.
