We have a new video featuring Dame Judi Dench, which can be used as part of your winter appeal, alongside other content and assets, now on Sharepoint. We also have a version suitable for German speakers.

Please contact Kerry for subtitling requests.

Response highlights and challenges this week include:

• Somalia (Project 1): Juba Foundation have sent over the first draft of the Project Proposal and budget which we will review over the coming days. 
• Mozambique (Project 2): Survival kits have been distributed to 1,563 families (final number to be confirmed) in Quissanga.
• Syria (NorthWest & NorthEast): The final clothing aid items are due to be ready from the supplier on 17 November.
• Cameroon (Project 11): Distributions have been slightly delayed due to a few of Public Concern's team being unwell, along with a delay in arrival of some of the internationally shipped aid items.
• Yemen (Project 2): We have a team currently in Egypt meeting with our partner, BCHR.

Monitoring:

• Tropical Cyclone Nalgae, Philippines: Reports suggest there are around 1.95 Million affected individuals (590,990 families) from 17 Regions, 67 Provinces and 614 Cities/Municipalities of which 975,374 individuals have been displaced.

Alex Orme, Head of International Giving, attended Rotary's Zone institute in Basel at the start of this month, pictured here with past RI President, Mark Maloney (on left).

Alex Youlten, Rotary Partnership Manager, has also just returned from Rotary's Zone Institute in Limassol, where she took part in a panel discussion on promoting partnerships. Many connections were made and important conversations were had.

We have some new content on AssetBank from Burkina Faso, when we revisited Noanga and his family, after he was provided with a Sahelian tent and other household items as part of project 4.

Best wishes
