World Vision rejects donation from NSW clubs
Care Australia has accepted $500,000 in donations from Clubs New South Wales, after World Vision rejected the money. World Vision rejected the funds because they were raised from revenue from gambling and alcohol but the group has since changed its mind. Clubs New South Wales says World Vision's change of heart is too late and it will honour a new agreement with Care Australia. Care Australia's Grant Thomas says it is not concerned about where the money has come from. "On behalf of Care Australia we're extremely thrilled with the $500,000 donation from Clubs NSW," he said. "The funding's going to go towards some oral rehydration tablets which are desperately needed in the Aceh region at the moment. Clearly the devastation that is across there at the moment is absolutely incredible so we're grateful for the support."
