Welcome to the world’s newest Rotarian!
Thank you to everyone who supported Hat Day in 2020 to help
It's been an interesting year and your support
means more than ever!
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.

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

these times.
We are proud to be part of the Angel Tree project
