21.01.2022 I know this lockdown has been beyond devastating for people, their families, livelihoods and this includes me Adelaide, I know everyone will be furious with ...the person who lied to SA Health about their actions/movements, and I know the consequences have been financially, socially, emotionally devastating - and I am not looking to excuse their behaviour BUT can we please interrogate the upstream and bigger picture here. WHY did this person lie? What in SOCIETY caused them to do this? If they were working illegally then why? Casualised workforces, insufficient income, low pay and not enough hours, insufficient social welfare, etc - these factors are all at play here too I don't mean this post to be insensitive or dismissive of harm and damage that has been caused- in any way - this is intended as a call to how we can learn from these things, and how public policies rather than individual blame has infinitely more capacity to have positive impact moving forward Post stolen from a friend but 100% agreed with

17.01.2022 RPM's homebase is Donations In Kind in Melbourne, and one of the regular tasks is sorting goods(in particular medical supplies) for shipping overseas. A recent ...40ft container packed and sent to Kiribati has just arrived and it's fabulous to see our hard work getting where the need is greatest. We love this photo of Tobwaraoi community members assisting the RC Tarawa to unpack the container - no forklifts by the way, just muscles and teamwork! (Photo Credits: RC Tarawa) See more

13.01.2022 Rotary clubs in Australia and New Zealand have contributed to the largest-ever Rotary Foundation Grant to fund vital healthcare equipment on the world’s largest... purpose-built NGO hospital ship, operated by Mercy Ships. The ‘Global Mercy’ launches in 2021 and will double the NGO’s healthcare impact throughout West Africa by providing six surgical specialities, as well as training for local healthcare workers. Money donated by Craig Brodey, of Lane Cove Rotary, Rotary District 9685, together with contributions from New Zealand’s Rotary Club of Morrinsville - District 9930 Inc, Rotary District 9930 Central North Island New Zealand, forms part of the 2020 Rotary Foundation global grant of US$1.125 million, helping outfit six operating theatres, three infection isolation rooms, six wards, and an intensive care unit on board the Global Mercy. Worldwide, two out of three people could not access surgery when they need it pre-COVID-19. More than 18 million people were dying unnecessarily from conditions that could have been treated by surgery because they could not afford it, could not access it, or it was simply not available in their country at any time. In 2020 this need has escalated. During the 50-year lifespan of the ‘Global Mercy’, it is estimated more than 150,000 people will be transformed through free essential surgery. The addition of the new hospital ship will enable Mercy Ships to reach more people in need and train more local healthcare professionals, while leaving a sustainable, lasting healthcare legacy.

10.01.2022 Visit by DG David Jones and his partner Lynne, and DAG Sheralee (yes, really - Rotarians do have a sense of humour!) last night at Lobethal Bierhaus. We were looked after really well in a Covid-19 safe way by Alistair and Rose and Bierhaus staff. The guests were shown some of our Club's fencing work after the Cudlee Creek bushfires, which will be ongoing for at least a year, prior to meeting the Board before dinner.
