Disaster Aid - saving young lives, battling disease and truly making a difference
At Fridays breakfast John O'Reilly and Peter Faulkner from Melbourne and Phillip Island Rotary gave a brief presentation and demonstration on the work that Disaster Aid have been doing to help communities with cleaning up their water supplies. Without clean water supplies, water borne diseases kill thousand of village folk in our region every year.
The work that these guys do is just outstanding. It starts with developing practical filtration units and delivering and installing and training village folks in water sanitation that change the lives of the villages in Philippines and around the region. Thankyou John & Peter and your team at Disaster aid and overseas who make sure that the units get used properly. One of the units costs about $5,000 and provides clean water to a village for 10 years.
...and no, you are not mistaken, John & Peter joined us at the Australian Rotary Golf Association tournament at Maroochy water golf club earlier in the year...... I mean why would you go back to Melbourne when you can stay in Queensland?
Demonstrating the effectiveness of the filter....dirty water in ...clean water out...aren't engineers marvellous?
