Three Rotary women were recognized on 7 March

at the World Bank in Washington, D.C., USA,

for their commitment to improving lives through

innovative humanitarian projects.

The celebration, hosted by the World Bank Group Staff Association,

and sponsored by Rotary International

and investment firm Oppenheimer & Co.,

was one of many events held this week

to mark International Women's Day, which is on 8 March each year.

It highlighted the positive changes women

make around the world.

Annette Dixon, vice president of the World Bank for South Asia,

moderated the event.

Dr. Geetha Jayaram, a member of the Rotary Club of Howard West, Maryland, USA,

Rotary Club of Karrinyup

Many people, and particularly Rotary Clubs throughout Western Australia,

are familiar with Rotary Club of Karrinyup (District 9455)'

s major 40th anniversay project, the Earbus,

which was designed to work in the Kimberley region of our state.

The purpose built vehicle was completed and handed

over to the Earbus Foundation in April of 2017.

Up till now it has been hard at work in the Goldfields

and other areas but, with the Earbus Foundation of WA recruiting for staff

to attend interviews in Kununurra in the February newsletter,

plans are now underway for service in the Kimberley

Region, for which it was designed.

Maybe our friends at Rotary Club of Kununurra Inc.

can help? Know anyone suitable?
