From DG Anita McDonald:

We have all seen the pictures and heard the stories about the devastation in Turkey and Syria as we continue to focus efforts on the victims of the attacks in Ukraine. Each time I see the impact these events have on the survivors, especially the children, it brings tears to my eyes.

I am so grateful for the response of The Rotary Foundation in creating the opportunities thru the Disaster Relief Fund for all of us to provide support to those in these three countries and even here in the United States.
