ROTARIAN OF THE YEAR
Franco Harkins
Franco is a somewhat quiet achiever working in the
background
to ensure our programs are well-managed and executed
in a timely and
efficient manner.
Do you have an affinity with Latin America?
Many people have been
impacted financially by COVID-19.
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 us
near neighbors 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 neighbors 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 organization 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 can donate, please
do, or please share our campaign.
Latin American students in
Australia needing support can apply here:

Thank you

Project Manager
It is often said that during the
worst of times, we see the best of people.
The first six months of 2020 has
certainly given us the opportunity
to find out that this is indeed true.
Together we have seen bushfires,
drought, floods and a global pandemic.
Our community has stayed strong and at
Interplast we have experienced examples
of great generosity, kindness and
resilience.
Burns, disabilities and other treatable
conditions won’t wait for COVID-19 to end.
Girls and boys, women and men are
still needing our assistance.
Thank you for being beside us as we
repair bodies and rebuild lives.
A new online peer-led intervention is
being tested by
ARH Postdoctoral Fellowship recipient
Dr Louise Birrell, to
help young people better support
their friends through tough times.
Louise is looking for students in
Year 9 to
complete 3 short online surveys,
and to use a mobile app for the
duration of 1 year.
The surveys will take approximately 30 minutes each
and all
participants will have the option to enter
a draw to win a $50 gift voucher.
Sign up or get more information by
emailing louise.birrell@sydney.edu.au.
Please share if you think anyone
might be interested!
