Young earthquake victims need Kiwanis’ help

Thousands of families have been tragically affected by the earthquake that struck L’Aquila, Italy, on Monday, 6 April 2009.

Officers from the Kiwanis International European Federation (KIEF) and the Kiwanis International Foundation are asking members worldwide to support efforts to provide short-term help to the families, and to announce that proceeds from the Kiwanis International Disaster Fund will be used to aid children left homeless and in need of help by the devastating quake.

The foundation will work through Kiwanis clubs near L’Aquila and the Italy-San Marino District team to ensure that funds are available and directed to children with the most critical needs.

Please send your support to the Kiwanis International Foundation, mentioning the Disaster Relief Fund.
