Angels Network Successful
The Friends of RAS, made up of members of the Wellington Rotary Club and RAS Board member, recently launched the Angels Network at a Wellington Rotary Club meeting.
The Angels Network provides a range of ways people can contribute in goods, services time etc to the development of RAS through supporting RAS staff and their refugee clients.
It has proved very successful with 27 individuals signed up as Angels already. Many families have been assisted with donations of second hand furnishings, sports and recreational goods and services such as help with obtaining a drivers license.
