Rotary Club of Perth
Rotary Club of Swan Districts
Rotary Club of Crawley



We need help from everyone in Rotary in Western Australia!
 Please consider donating online to this joint initiative
https://startsomegood.com/the-sleeping-bag-project.

As you might have noticed, a number of clubs are supporting initiatives
 to address HOMELESSNESS in our local community
. Last weekend it was great to see support the
 Rotaract Club of Perth's Masquerade Ball 
which supported @perthhomelesssupportgroup.
 Next week we we partner with Rotary of Crawley 
for their annual Rotary One In A Million event 
recognising local champions working to address homelessness in our city.

The link below supports our club's Sleeping Bag initiative
 We are in "Stage 2" of the project where we are fund raising 
for the sale of 500 sleeping bags @$50 each. 
All sleeping bags will be donated to local charities
 who will soon be distributing these to those in need.

The sleeping bags will arrive in Freo in mid-April.
 There will be plenty of opportunities to help us distribute them.
 In the meantime, if you can support us with a gift of $50
 or more, we'd greatly appreciate it!










WELCOME TO JAPANESE EXCHANGE STUDENTS
Every year a group of students goes to Japan as part of the
 AJYCE (Australia Japan Youth Cultural Exchange) programme.
 After the Australians visit, the Japanese arrive
 and here is a welcome dinner photo of the Japanese group.
The programme has been going for 42 years.

Rotary Club of  Geraldton


Rotary Club of Geraldton fundraising raffle could take you
 on a journey of a lifetime with a $6000.00 flight centre travel voucher.
Help us, help out Orkeeswa School in Tanzania to raise money
 for a new school bus. Orkeeswa School is a community-based secondary school
 located in Orkeeswa Village, an under-served Maasai community in rural Tanzania.
By providing free education within the village, in a country 
where less than a quarter of the population has access to secondary school,
 Orkeeswa offers the only opportunity for most of their students
 to continue their education past the primary level.
In 2012 our club helped raise money to build a computer room/library for the school.
 A growing student body has put a strain on the schools transportation resources.
 Without sufficient transportation some students have to walk over 30kms home
. Due to safety reasons this means they can’t participate in extra curricular activities
 because they need to get home before dark.
You can show your support in a few ways:
By purchasing a ticket in our wonderful raffle for 
your own chance to win the $6000.00 travel voucher.
And/or by sharing our raffle within your community
By purchasing a ticket in you can help us support free education at Orkeeswa school
. See pictures below for further information on how to obtain a ticke
t and the full terms and conditions for the raffle.

We really do appreciate your help to get us across
 the line and reach our fundraising goal

Rotary Club of Attadale



One of the most exciting Youth Programs for Rotary in Australia
 is the National Youth Science Forum that inspires Australia's leading young scientists
. In all the years of Attadale Rotary selecting and helping financially
 to get successful student applicants to Canberra for this project, 
we have never yet been disappointed. 
Approximately 200 students from all around Australia 
meet not only with leading science professionals,
 they have the opportunity to mix with like-minded students.
 Sam Wende is a typical example of a returned student from this project.
 The fact that he had a session with a Nobel Prize winner for science
 simply overwhelmed him.
 In fact he had stars in his eyes as his hero studies the solar systems.
 Meeting with other leading scientists, Sam has decided to major in Psychology
 as he wants to work on the science of the mind.
 His presentation to the Attadale Rotary Club last Monday
 evening included teaching members a song and dance routine
 the students were shown by group leaders on the bus
. It was a lot of fun and showed what a remarkable young man
 he is and one that will go far in his future endeavours.
 The National Youth Science Forum is a project that must continue
 as it helps students along the path to successful careers. 
This was another great meeting at the Rotary Club if Attadale.
Sam Wende is pictured with Attadale Rotary member Patricia Robertson.



 Also pictured are Rotarian Robin Hamilton
