New Rotary Area of Focus: Supporting the Environment. 
The Rotary Foundation Trustees and Rotary International Board of Directors
 have both unanimously approved adding a new area of focus: 
supporting the environment.


More than $18 million in Foundation global grant funding

 has been allocated to environment-related projects over the past five years.
 Creating a distinct area of focus to support the environment
 will give Rotary members even more ways to bring about positive change
 in the world and increase our impact.



Supporting the environment becomes Rotary's seventh area of focus

, which are categories of service activities supported by global grants.
 It joins peacebuilding and conflict prevention; disease prevention
 and treatment; water, sanitation, and hygiene; maternal
 and child health; basic education and literacy; 
and community economic development

Clem and I forged a very close working relationship with both

 and we each stayed in each other’s home on a number of occasions.

Emily Davies, President of the 

 said: "My highlight from the past year would be seeing
 the Rotaract club of Belmont grow.
 We started as two people that wanted to create a club 
to help young people with the
ir careers,but more importantly to create positive change 
within our local and global community. 
Since then we have grown, we now have 15 enthusiastic members 
with which we held our first ever event, 
that was very successful.
 We now also have a heap of plans and goals 
for the future to create change. 
This Rotaract year as president has been a challenging one 
but I’m happy and proud of every one of my members
 and the club that we created. 
I only hope that we continue to grow so we can give back 
and positively impact our community."














Do you have an affinity with Latin America?

Many people have been impacted financially by COVID-19.
 In particular, international students have been hard hit,
 with sudden loss of part-time jobs, cancellation of all flights
 and family back home also affected. 
Many students are skipping meals and have no way out.

Although Rotary in Australia often has a focus on our 
near neighbours in the Asia Pacific,
 many Rotarians and Rotaractors have a strong affinity with Latin America
 due to our long standing exchange program,
 as well as family ties, professional links, travel experiences and
 a love of the rich culture that Latin America offers. 
The students who are in our communities now
 are our neighbours and friends and they need help.
to enable tax-deductible donations via
 RAWCS - Rotary Australia World Community Service 
to provide much needed relief for students from Latin America.
 Somos21 is a not for profit organisation promoting greater connection 
and collaboration between professionals across Australia and Latin America.
Significantly, the first $15,000 received via

will be matched by a Rotary Australia Compassionate Grant 
to make $30,000.
Help us reach this goal before June 30.
If you are able to donate, please do, or please share our campaign.
Latin American students in Australia needing support can apply here:
