Rotary Club of Dabolim Goa

Heavy rains inundated parts of Canacona causing flash floods, and immense hardship to the residents, flooding and damaging hundreds of houses, damaging crops, affecting thousands of people, causing few deaths and rendering many homeless.

Acting speedily on a few requests, we provided flood relief material including food, tarpaulins, bedsheets and clothes to the affected area. The material was distributed with the help of an NGO manning the 24-hour relief centre in Poinguinim, one of the worst affected areas. The NGO has 120 volunteers actively helping with the rescue, rehabilitation and distribution of relief material.

Many thanks to the RC Dabolim team, and to Everton, Sonali and Suresh for their help.
