13.Foreign Coin Collection for UNICEF
In 2014/15, D9810 partnered with UNICEF to collect foreign coins and notes. Since then the district has sent off 480kg of coins and 8 large parcels of notes which were valued at $14,500.
It is a NO COST project for Rotary as security pouches are transported to us and returned, paid for by Change Global Exchange the major collectors from banks around Australia. They also accept coins and notes which are no longer in circulation, including Australian ones. One Rotary club encourages the collection of 5 cent Australian coins to add to their collection.
UNICEF works in over 190 countries for the rights and welfare of all children. It supports children’s health needs, clean water, sanitation, quality basic education, and protection from violence, exploitation, and HIV. It has the same ideals as Rotary.
There are 28 clubs in the District who have contributed to date along with some churches, branches of Bendigo Bank, a local Sikh temple, and friends of Rotary. Put out a labelled container at your meetings to remind members.
Coin pickup: Ron Brooks will visit your club or elsewhere to collect coins and notes.
