For the past five years or more the Rotary Club of Camberwell has been supporting the Rotary Club of Canterbury with this wonderful annual project. FORaMEAL is an initiative to help provide emergency relief meals for those impacted by natural disasters. Each year over 250,000 meals are provided free of charge to vulnerable individuals and families across S.E.Asia. As well as to the frontlines of countries torn apart by wars like Ukraine. To date, over 1,100,000 meals have been distributed for free.
The success of this event depends on having a sufficient number of people to do the job. The Rotary Club of Canterbury recommends about forty people as an effective team. We kindly ask for volunteers from family & friends of our Rotary members to join us. Please find below two links, one for a video showing the amazing team bonding and community spirit from previous FORaMEAL projects (many of our members, their family and friends feature in this video). The second link gives a comprehensive history and the goals of this amazing program.
David Troon will distribute a flyer about the event at our fellowship meeting on Wednesday 29 April 2026. Please contact David if you have any questions.
