The Rotary Club of Lae Huon Gulf continues to deliver vital community projects but faces significant challenges, particularly in transportation and logistics.
Club President Piero Banchetti said moving essential donations, such as desks for rural schools, remains one of the biggest obstacles.
“The biggest challenge is transport and logistics to move things such as desks to rural schools,” Banchetti said.
To overcome this, he said the club has maintained arrangements where recipients organize their own transport, ensuring that donations reach their intended destinations.
“It’s a partnership between us and the recipients. We provide the resources, but they need to take responsibility for transportation,” he said.
Despite these difficulties, the club remains committed to its mission and continues to assess the impact of its past projects.
“We have received feedback from recipients on how our projects have helped them. We revisit schools to see how our assistance, such as desks, has benefited students,” Banchetti said.
He added that while transportation challenges persist, the club is always looking for ways to improve logistics and expand its reach.
