Newsletter
- October 2013 - Edition 12
Apologies for not getting a Newsletter out earlier, but we have had so much happening.
Hopefully, the video we created in April provided a good update on the project. In this issue I will
cover a number of points that I think are very important to the Foundation and that our
supporters will find interesting.
Cararoo Foundation Project Video: As the Foundation grows and more people are seeking
information on exactly what we do, we felt it important to introduce you to our Cararoo family
and give you some insight into what a “squatter village” looks like. We have had a wonderful,
positive response. Please view the video on YouTube or email me if you would like a CD version.

Apart from the support given to Cararoo, RCNT also supports projects in Nepal, Cambodia and this year, Fiji.
Organisations such as Shelter Box also receive a donation. www.shelterboxaustralia.com.au
These International evenings have raised over $25,000 in the last 4 years, with a substantial percentage of this
being given to Cararoo for flood relief, sponsorship of 2 children, Christmas parties, and this year, support for our
dental program, which was also supported by Rotary District and Rotary International by way of a matching grant.
We thank RCNT members for their support, as well as Rotary Australia World Community Services (RAWCS), who
manages our Australian donations and transfer of funds between Australia and the Philippines, thus making our
supporters very comfortable in the knowledge that all Cararoo funds are being well managed. Cararoo now have
120 children being sponsored to school. We urge you to become a sponsor—contact Maurie Or Arlene.
