THANK YOU, Rotary Club!

July 10, 2026

A very welcome delivery arrived at the Children's Surgical Centre this past Monday — a container packed with medical equipment, collected and shipped by Rotary Donations in Kind and a team of Rotarians from Melbourne Rotary Clubs and the Rotary Club of Liverpool West, Sydney.

Trolleys, wheelchairs, walking frames, and box after box of supplies were unloaded by CSC staff and volunteers (in the full Phnom Penh heat, no less). Every item will help CSC continue to offer life-changing surgery and rehabilitation to children throughout Cambodia.

Our sincere thanks to all in Melbourne who collected, packed and shipped it — a fine example of Rotarians working together across borders.
