In his address to the Rotary International Convention in June 2021,
Shekhar Mehta urged Rotary members to put improving girls’ futures
at the forefront of their work. Mehta made empowering girls one
of his presidential initiatives, and his focus is particularly timely.
Women continue to face economic hurdles,
declining levels of political participation,
and challenges in the workplace, according to the
World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2021.
The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the things that has extended
the amount of time that experts estimate it will take to close the gender gap.

Rotarians from Districts 9455 and 9465 were given an insight into
Australian Rotary Health’s Indigenous Health Scholarship,
with
80 students currently in the program.
The program is a co-operative program between
Australian Rotary Health, Rotary clubs,
some State or Territory Governments and the Commonwealth Government.
The object of this program is to provide a scholarship,
which can be used to assist Indigenous students with their day-to-day expenses
while they undertake a course in a wide range of health
related professions.
Several of the current students explained how helpful the program
has been not only helping them financially but also providing personal support as well.
Corey, who has graduated as a doctor, is now a director at the Indigenous Doctors Association
and is undertaking the fellowship program to become a GP.
Professor David Paul, Dean of Aboriginal Studies gave us an insight into the support
that was provided and the certainty that the Rotary scholarships provide
but he did state they needed more
scholarships.
Our End of Year Social was held just outside of Optus Stadium.
