THE Highworth and District Lions Club has donated a total of £1,130 so far to an international disaster fund run by Lions Clubs.
In addition to this cash donation, we have supplied clothes, etc., to the local collection point at Wroughton.
It may interest your readers that in addition to the US$ 470,000 that the Lions Clubs International Foundation has awarded to Lions in India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Malaysia to secure and deliver food, water and blankets, local Lions clubs are providing on site assistance in the form of doctors and other types of aid.
A further sum of money has been set aside to provide long term aid and reconstruction needs.
