During the University of Otago's RE-O week 2016, approximately 10 Rotaract Dunedin members came together and held two sausage sizzles. The money raised will help to send our team over to the Akha Academy in Thailand. On the first night, we set up around 9.30pm and finished at 2am! Otago weather was on our side and we stayed dry throughout the night. Many students did not disappoint us in supporting this cause. We had looked forward to feeding them and they weren't hesitant in giving back. Many donations and sausage jokes later, we finished the night with a generous amount. The second night, we started early and looked forward to providing sausages for people after a rugby game. It was a slow start but people were generous in their donations. Through the rain and cold wind, hungry people still lined up for sausages near the end of the night. 500 sausages and bread, 3 bottles of ketchup and 8 bags of onions later, we are incredibly happy with the turn out and proud of the Dunedin community for backing our cause. We plan to have another sausage sizzle in September near Otago University so if you're in Dunedin come and get involved or grab yourself some soul satisfying dinner!
