Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children (ROMAC) 

has saved dozens of Pacific Islanders by bringing sick babies

 and children to Canberra for critical care,

 which is donated by the hospital unde

r a memorandum of understanding.

Vincent underwent three significant surgeries,

 dozens of gastroscopies and ended up in the

 neonatal intensive care unit on a few occasions.

After 16 months of treatment in Canberra,

 he has become well enough to eat — 

with an appetite that draws him to the backyard veggie garden

 to munch on snow peas.




His 23-year-old mother, Cosinta Matesonia,

 endured fear and uncertainty as she fought to keep her

 malnourished son alive following his birth in May last year.

But she is now ready to fly home with a thriving toddler.

"I'm just happy for Rotary to help,

 so I just want to say a big thanks to the Rotary club

 and the doctor who helped my baby 

to get better," Ms Matesonia says.

She says it is a huge relief to see Vincent can now eat.

"He loves to eat apples, spinach, potato, pawpaw 

and the pumpkin," Ms Matesonia says

Losing their hair will not be heartbreaking; however, 

watching those we love lose theirs because of chemo and radiation is. 

 

This is why Rotarians from Crawley and Perth Rotary Clubs

 have joined together for this event.

 We all know someone who has been affected by cancer

 in some way and want to challenge ourselves and you, to make a difference.

 

Through the Bald and The Beautiful Brave Shave,

 we invite you to participate in a positive action

 that might just be the difference needed in getting the

 next research project across the line. 

Help us reach our collective goal of $100,000 for cancer research

 right here in Western Australia.

 

Join us for an evening of food, drinks and fundraising on

 November 26 at The Duxton Hotel Perth

 and be a part of making a difference for our friends and family facing cancer.

 As a community champion,

 you are helping us to keep families together for longer.

Welcome back to Australia David from Japan 

after your challenging but eye opening time on exchange.

 Now in hotel quarantine learning how to pass time he can swap ideas with Connor

Not long now for Ainslee (Sweden) and Sammy (Norway)

 to be back with their families as well.

 Thank you again to the Rotary Clubs of Bunbury, Applecross

The RC Freshwater Bay is delighted to be linked to

 Bob Hawke College. 

A meeting with Principal John Burke, PDG Fred Marsh, 

PE Max Hipkins, Dir. Nishi Galhenage and Pres. Di was very fruitful.

A tour of this excellent facility took place after the meeting.

 Just Yr. 7 students in the College at this time,

 with two further floors to be built above the existing building,

 and a progression each year until Yr. 12.

 
























Christmas is coming 🌲

 which means it's time for our club to help make Christmas

 a special time for those kids who have a parent in prison.

It's not something that gets spoken about a lot but the impact on the family

 of having a parent in prison is definitely felt hardest at these times.

We are proud to be part of the Angel Tree project

 and would encourage others to contact the team at 

Prison Fellowship Australia

 to find out how you can help them support at risk families.
