24 Donations in Kind (DIK) an activity of Rotary Australia World Community Service Limited (RAWCS) grew out of the compassion and concern of returning overseas volunteers. This recycling and reuse program focusses on health & education involves the collection, sorting, packing, dispatch and distribution of donated items to countries in need of these goods. Many goods and products, for which organisations in Australia have no further use, are valuable commodities in needy countries overseas and in some regions within Australia. A Donations in Kind (DIK) project is often the most practical and cost-effective way to help people in developing countries and it also provides excellent opportunities to help local communities. It provides Rotarians, the Public and Corporate Sector with the chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people who need our help. It provides Rotarians with opportunities to use all their resources; their intellect, skills and contacts, their labour and their ability to raise funds.
