 Donations in Kind (DIK)

One of the ways of increasing world understanding is through the work of Donations In Kind (DIK). RAWCS - Eastern Region (Rotary Australia World Community Service) has a DIK warehouse in Prospect in Sydney which is a clearinghouse for serviceable equipment which is no longer required but which can be used to support Rotary projects in developing countries.  

 

Equipment - The manager of the DIK warehouse Past President Miriam Jacka, is always looking for equipment. Typically the equipment that is most needed is items for schools and hospitals/medical centres. Please keep a lookout for such items: Educational equipment: eg. School desks, chairs and other educational items. Health related items, hospital equipment, beds, bedside tables, instruments, linen, etc. All equipment must be serviceable. Check with the manager regarding the suitability of equipment before sending it to the warehouse. As the warehouse is not open all the time please check for a suitable time to deliver equipment. Please note that the donating club is responsible for arranging the transport to the warehouse in Prospect.

Books - These are not managed by DIK but donations are coordinated by the DIK "Book Arm", the Ranfurley Library Service.

Volunteers - DIK hold regular working bees to check and sort the donated equipment and to load the containers ready for shipment. Please consider this as a club project and come down on a working bee for a day, at weekends. Barbecue facilities are available at the warehouse.

 

IT Expertise - Miriam is also looking for volunteers with IT (Information Technology) expertise who can check out and renovate donated computer equipment.

Please contact PP Miriam Jacka (phone 0450 110 336 or email Miriam Jacka) for more information.
