23.01.2022 Yemen is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, with more than 24 million people some 80 per cent of the population in need of humanitarian assistance, including more than 12 million children. It’s therefore crucial that we educate ourselves on the issue and take meaningful steps to make a difference. UOW Rotaract wants to raise money to support Save the Children who are trying to make a difference on the ground. Whether you donate a little or a lot your contribut...ion will make an impact! We have the power to make a difference. So please donate and share this post!

18.01.2022 What a year its been! Suffice it to say its been a challenging one. And yet, despite everything we have accomplished so much! We helped clean up our beaches, planted trees, raised awareness of mental health issues and raised money for the Yemeni people. Thats just to name a few! We also had the pleasure of working with some incredible organisations including Save the Children and Plastic Free Oceans. Not to mention the local Rotary groups who gave us the chance to help out ...with some of their amazing initiatives. While we weren’t able to do as much as we would have liked this year, we are still incredibly proud of how much we were able to achieve. Our Executive team would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all our fantastic members who gave their ideas, time and dedication to our projects. We have met so many amazing people in our community this year, who have reminded us of how important working together is in these hard times. With that, we say goodbye to 2020 and begin a new chapter. We can’t wait to see what the new year brings us! #community #workingtogether #newyear

11.01.2022 Yesterday, our Rotaract Club turned 18! Which means the club can now go out and celebrate the proper way... if it wasn't for coronavirus. But more than that, our club has been looked after by one man for almost two decades. So as we cannot celebrate in proper fashion this year, we would like to take some time to appreciate the man who without we would not be here. Alf Harley has been with our club fron the start, having taken it from an idea and stayed with us ever since. We... could not have asked for a more kind, selfless, humble person to help us grow into the future leaders we are becoming. Thank you so much for always being there for us Alf, and next year we will party twice as hard for missing this birthday!

10.01.2022 R U OK? Just a reminder to take some time today to have a meaningful conversation with the people around you.

We will be out the front of the Unibar today too if you want to come and have a chat! We love meeting new people #ruokday #mentalhealthawareness #friendship #conversation #changinglives #community

01.01.2022 Last night our team of @siszaroo @doug_with_hats and @heeeey_dan went toe to toe with the extrordinary team from the Rotary Club of West Wollongong! The debate was intense and the topic was a diffucult one to argue from both sides. But our team was crowned victorious. Climate Change is something that our club is very passionate about, and we are so proud and grateful for the opportunity to express that in a different way.... Massive thank you to Helen Hasan of West Wollongong Rotary for organising the debate, and the SBRC for hosting us last night. Hopefully we can have more formal events like this soon #Climate #change #climatechange #rotary #rotaryinternational #rotaract #rotaractaustralia #debating #uow #thisisuow
