Christmas Break 2024/5
Thanks all who have helped throughout the year. All in all it's been very successful, with the bookshop which we run in association with Carlton Rotary being much more successful than we could ever expect.
Due to this we've been able to support many projects (in no special order)
- We've increased the amount we offer in scholarships to children in the area
- Supported International and local Rotary scholarships
- Paying for Hope in a Suitcase warehousing facilities
- Further supported RIMERN, a great multi-club project, recycling furniture and furnishings for those in need, see https://www.facebook.com/groups/495145215239091/
- Advanced the reconstruction of Kyebe maternity clinic in Uganda, see https://www.kyebeuganda.org.au/blog/october-update-2-roof-tiles-installed
- Supported the Rescue Boys Uganda project
- Supported a toilet facility project in Cambodia, see https://rotaryalbertpark.org.au/Stories/safe-haven-toilet-installations-cambodia
- Further supported two Days for Girls projects
- SES Port Phillip, TeamSports4All, and Westgate Park Biodiversity projects
- Port Phillip Community Group, SHARC, Alfred Mental Health, Sacred Heart Mission, Launch Housing, Wintringham House, the Dolly Parton Imagination Library
- and the usual Rotary Foundation, ROMAC, and Australian Rotary Health projects
Not too shabby really...
We will be returning in the new year on 15th January for a private function, then on 22nd January in full force
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, refreshed for a very busy new year.
