Ross Nominated for Citizen Award

The 2023 City of Stirling Citizenship awards were held at Scarborough Beach

on a glorious day with a chilly start at 6.30 am on Australia Day.

City of Stirling Director Community Development Michael Quirk acted as MC,

with Mayor Mark Irwin making the introductions and presenting the awards

. Len Yarran, co - Chair of the Wadjak Northside Community Centre,

performed the Welcome to Country.

 Several City of Stirling Councillors were present,

 as well as a number of representatives from the State Government.

Karrinyup Rotary member Ross Daniel was one of four nominations.

 in the Senior Citizen of the Year section.

 While Ross did not take out the award, which went to Jean Jolley,

 he was indeed a very worthy nominee.

 Among the highlights in his citation were:

Ross has been the liaison enabling our Club to provide support

and assistance to Camp Quality for over 20 years.

Used his many skills as a building project manager for the design and construction.

of the mini conservatorium meeting place for the Noongar people

 of Lake Gwelup at the Lake Gwelup Reserve.

Ross was the driving force in our Club providing support

 and assistance towards the design

and construction of a new all-weather roofing for the horse-riding arena

 for the Riding for Disabled Association in Carine.

Karrinyup Rotarians will also be familiar with some of the winners

 in other categories. Scott Guerini,

 recipient of the Karrinyup Rotary 2021 Michael Chin Humanitarian Award,

 won the Youth section.

 Last year we had a speaker presentation by Alanagh Godderidge 

all about Motion by the Ocean,

 the group that won the Active Citizenship Group award.

 All nominees received a certificate of participation.

A sausage sizzle, lamingtons and drinks were provided by the City.

Beach users generally stayed away until almost the end of the citizenship ceremony.

2023 is a critical year for the global effort to eradicate polio.

. It is the year when all remaining poliovirus transmission globally.

 is slated to be fully interrupted,

per the GPEI Polio Eradication Strategy 2022-2026.

A unique epidemiological window of opportunity is presenting.

itself at the start of the year,

that we must capitalize on.

So what is the programme’s focus for achieving success this year?

The answer is:

reaching zero-dose children in the most consequential geographies.

 

Last year was a defining one for the polio programme particularly.

in the Eastern Mediterranean Region with an increase in new cases in Pakistan

and a need to focus on vaccinating children in consequential geographies.

Approximately 575 million doses of nOPV2 have been administered to date,

in 26 countries, since rollout of the vaccine began in March 2021.

In 2022 alone, 385 million doses were administered, across 22 countries.











In our first newsletter of 2023, we are thrilled to announce that in 2022,

 thanks to the generosity of supporters like you,

 we helped over 400,000 people - that's over 80,000 families!

 

·         Since ShelterBox was formed in 2000,

·          the charity has supported more than 2.5 million people 

across 98 countries.

·         This includes people we’ve helped with shelter,

·          and those who’ve received other household items like solar lights,

·         water filters, mosquito nets, and kitchen sets.

·         As ShelterBox has grown, we have offered a wider range of aid

 and built a global network of partners.

·         – and thanks to our brilliant family of supporters worldwide,

 we’ve been able to reach more people.

·         We helped 1 million in our first 15.5 years

·         and reached our second million in the space of just 5.5 years.

You can watch the 2022 Impact Video here:

and feel proud of what you helped achieve.

2023 promises to be just as challenging as we rise to meet 

the needs of those affected.

by disaster and conflict

. Below there are updates from our responses in 

Ukraine, Pakistan, and Ethiopia, 




Snow shrouds the remains of Victoria’s house which was destroyed in the conflict.

Ukraine - Conflict

Project 4 was initially focused on providing 2,000 households

 in rural and suburban communities.

with emergency kits to allow them to make repairs to damaged houses

 that they are still living in along with a selection of winter specific aid items,

 including winter jackets, hats, gloves, blankets, and solar lights.

 1,000 of these households were intended to also receive a solid fuel stove

 and a supply of firewood.

 However, due to the shifting context, challenges in access due

 to the winter conditions

 and continued attacks on infrastructure, we have had

 to take a flexible approach to Project 4.

Some families who had intended to stay in their houses now find that without power,

 life is intolerable and have made the difficult decision to move.

We are therefore prioritising the distribution of winter clothing 

and stoves in Kyiv and Chernihiv oblasts,

taking a street-level centralised approach to make it easier for recipients

 to reach distributions sites.

 We have decided to hold back the majority of shelter items 

for distribution in a third location,

likely recaptured areas of Kharkiv,

 where the gap in provision of these materials may be greater.

With the recent escalation on attacks on energy infrastructure,

it has been decided to run a rapid winter response (Project 5)

 simultaneously with Project 4.

The aid package will focus on aid items

 (rather than specific shelter repair materials)

 that will improve living conditions through the coldest winter months.

The provision of winter aid items aims to enable families surviving 

in sub-standard living conditions.

to live more comfortably in their homes that no longer

 have a source of heating or energy.

 It will include blankets, sleeping bags, winter clothing, stoves, 

light and water carriers;

 and will support around 6,000 households in the following oblasts:

 Lviv, Khelnytskyi, Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Donetsk

 (Ukraine controlled areas only) and Mykolaiv.

Project 1 has focused on supporting approximately 1,200 

households across four locations

 in Sindh and Balochistan with an emergency shelter package including

 ShelterBox relief tents, tarpaulins, and rope,

 along with an accompanying aid package

to support the same households with water filters, water carriers,

blankets, mattresses, mosquito nets and solar lights

. Project 2 has aimed to contribute to the self-recovery process

of approximately 5,000 households in

 Sindh and Balochistan through distribution of cash assistance

 in compliment to shelter.

 and non-food item assistance that households have already received,

 empowering families to continue their journey to recovery.

Distributions are now complete for both projects 1 and 2,

 and PDM (post-distribution monitoring) is ongoing.





 Ethiopia remains a complex humanitarian emergency.

characterised by the ongoing conflict,

 insecurity, and the effects of climate change which have all contributed.

 towards mass displacement and humanitarian need.

More than 24 million people within Ethiopia have been affected by drought

 which began in October 2020 with consecutive failed rainy seasons?

 across the Horn of Africa.

Project 5 is a 12-month project, running through to February 2023

and with our partner, IOM (International Organization for Migration),

 aims to support 12,000 of the most vulnerable displaced families.

 It represents a huge scale-up on previous projects,

due to the massive needs in the country,

and will remain flexible with the ability to support people in areas.

who require emergency shelter as the needs arise.

 Project 5 comprises three cycles of distributions.

each supporting 4,000 households.

 Indian, Filipino, and Zimbabwean cultural groups.

 All of this greatly reflected the diversity of our Kwinana community.

 Overall, a very special morning,

 and a huge thanks to everyone for their support and assistance.

Among our visitors this week was Olga Gurina,

 who is seen here with President Jenni and Trish.

Trish met Olga, who is from Ukraine,

at the recent Christmas Party for Ukrainian families.

 Olga was very happy to attend, learn more about our Rotary organisation.

 (and also Camp Quality)

 as well as practice her English.

 She enjoyed discussing a wide range of topics at length

with several of our members

. It was also great to welcome back.

 Rotarian Barbara Johnson (RC Bridgetown)

and prospective members Beth McCormack and Graham Clark.


 





Karrinyup Rotary Vocational Service Director Tess Gardner

 introduced Tessa Barbaro from Camp Quality.

Tessa is the Family Program Coordinator. 

Tess Gardner met her when she and a group from 

Karrinyup Rotary volunteered.

 at a Camp Quality Family Camp late last year

and was impressed with the passion with which

 Tessa embraced her work.

Tessa described how she loves providing support in

 what she views as her 'dream job’.

 of delivering (in her words) ‘pockets of joy in dark clouds’

. She demonstrated what she meant by 'fun therapy’.

 by engaging the entire audience in a game of ‘scissors, paper, rock’.

Camp Quality has been supporting kids aged (0-15)

 and their families for almost 40 years,

 bringing positivity, fun and laughter back into

 the lives of kids facing cancer.

 Tessa says she loves her job and feels privileged

 to work with such incredible people.

 She wakes up each morning knowing that she is 

able to give help where it is needed most.

Tessa described the programs and services that support families

 to build optimism

and resilience through community, education and fun.

 Camp Quality also provides financial support 

for entire families to take retreats.

 Camp Quality educates school children (peers of 'patient')

so that their playmates are aware the it is not possible to 'catch' cancer.

In WA alone in 2022, there were 75 new families,

 bringing the total to 398 families that attended events.

 Camp Quality organised three kids’ camps with a total of 144 participants.

Tessa was accompanied by Belinda Katz, Fundraising Manager,

 who described the source of donations from the general public and the corporate world.

 Karrinyup Rotary has long been a supporter.

 Camp Quality is always looking for volunteers to assist with camps and outings.
