Rotaract Club of Rossmoyne

The Project

The Thousand Paper Cranes project was conceived after  Rotaractors
 traveled through Japan and had the opportunity to visit the 
Children's Peace Monument at the Peace Memorial Park, in Hiroshima.
 In addition,  they learned of the tale of the construction 
of the Nara Daibustu (Giant Buddha),
 an effort in which Emperor Shomu called on the people
 at large to contribute towards the project,
 in however a humble way.


Through this project, we wish to see clubs and groups

 from all over the world partake in a unified effort to promote peace 
and increase awareness of the peace-building capabilities of leaders,
 such as Rotary Peace Fellows,
 through the folding of paper cranes, 
which symbolise both our desire for
 and commitment towards a more peaceful world.


Rotaract Club of Rossmoyne
                    The Rotaract Club of Rossmoyne Inc. was chartered in 2013
                        and consists of a group of vibrant young people looking
                                 to make positive change in the world. 
                      Located in Rossmoyne, Western Australia (District 9465),
             the Rotaract club has been an active participant in the local community, 
                                        undertaking a number of events.
                 Our major project partners have included Ronald McDonald House,
                                Shelterbox and John Curtin Weekend. 
                    We also work together with other Rotary, Rotaract and Interact clubs
                       and the Animal Protection Society of Western Australia.

                              You can keep up-to-date about our club’s activities

Rotary Club of Geraldton


On 1st June we had visitor Gordon Frost from Wheelchair for Kids 
come and speak to the Geraldton Rotary clubs
 at a Joint Rotary club meeting. 
It was a great way to kick off Fellowship month having 
the 3 Geraldton clubs unite for a special presentation
 on Wheelchairs for Kids.
Wheelchairs for Kids was commenced by the Rotary Club of Scarborough
 in Western Australian in 1998,
 building and distributing them to needy children in developing countries.
 With the support of the Christian Brothers 
including a Christian Brother as workshop manager,
 the project now has a pool of over 150 local retiree volunteers,
 producing and distributing up to 300 wheelchairs a month.
 Also, hundreds of (mainly) ladies throughout Australia knit rugs
 and dolls to go with the wheelchairs.

For more information on Wheelchair for Kids
 and how you can support this wonderful cause go to

A MIRACULOUS SAVE.

 
 
DARWIN POST 
(Last Tuesday),

Woman saves herself in Crocodile attack using a small Walking Stick. 

This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a brave, 

cool-headed woman with a walking stick against a fierce predator.


 Here is her story in her own words:


"While out walking along the edge of a creek 

just outside of our house in Darwin, 
with my soon to be ex-husband discussing our property settlement,
 Kids and other divorce issues, 
we were surprised by a huge 5 metre. Crocodile 
which suddenly emerged from the murky water
 and began charging at us very fast with its large jaws wide open.

The Croc must have been protecting her young

 and her home because she was extremely aggressive.

If I had not had my little $5. Dollar Reject shop

 walking stick with me,
 I would not be here today!

Just one Hard Wack to my estranged husband's 

knee cap was all it took..
..The' Croc  got him easily
 and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace.

The amount I saved in lawyer’s fees

 was really incredible and I got the lot
