The response was tremendous that the amount collected was well above our target. The 22,100 pieces above the target indeed shows that the society are concern for the needful ones. They too knows that the Club will distribute them to the needys irrespective of their race and religion and locations. It was also a bad year for longhouses. Hundreds of families were made homeless by fire. The unexpected "Twister" hit a village. But some other families are just in need of aids and they are located beyond the reach of our normal societies. We the Rotarians of Kuching Central were indeed glad to assist in being a channel of distributions of this basic facilities and other aids to where they are needed most.

There was those Ms Ngiu Kee staff who travel to the interior by Longboat to ensure that the clothings gets direct to the needful ones. If you care to experience a timber trace ride you should join the distributions of those clothings to the Baram Penans.
