25.01.2022 This week’s guest speaker was our very own Valerie Simons, who delighted and inspired us with her journey earlier this year to Niarobi, Africa. Valerie visited St Jude’s and also schools in the slums of Kibera and Mirror of Hope charity school, a school dedicated to supporting the children and community of the Kibera Slum. Meeting her sponsor son Cyril, from Mirror of Hope and sharing a meal with his family was a highlight of Valerie’s trip. Thank you Valerie for showing us how we can all make a difference, and together as Rotarians, that difference can be huge.

24.01.2022 Wise words from this legend, Secretary-General of the United Nations for a decade & 2001 Nobel Peace Prize Kofi Annan. Education is the key, this is why we are working to help access to it.

22.01.2022 Erika, our Rotary peace fellow, told us about the plight of her home town in rural Philippines and the devastating typhoon and floods and the support from her mothers' Rotary Club - Solana We raised $1500. For just $100 of this money we can get a box 700mmx510mmx540mm delivered to the Philippines and we want to fill it with secondhand clothes and toys, lollies (not chocolate as it will melt on the way over!!) If you can support this can you bring it to Rotary next week and Pr...esident Richard will collect and Erika will pack it and ship it. If you have clothes in good condition, toys and/or lollies you are happy to donate please contact us or come see us on Thursday 3rd of December between 7 and 8.30am at the Paddo Given Tce in Paddington.

Denise gave us a passionate talk about The project that was born last year and has now grown up to be soon realized on the field in the Efate & Espiritu Santo....
