Rotary Club of Northam

Warm wishes from the Rotary Club of Northam.

It gives me pleasure in informing you that Rotary Club of Northam

did a wonderful project with the Institute of Mental Health in Singapore

in creating a website for mental health.

The project which took about a year was our international project

and the project was recently launched in Singapore.

It specifically targets caregivers who need help in supporting the loved ones

who suffered from mental health conditions.

East Kalgoorlie School
Thank you to Lorraine, Geoff, Wendy, Linda, Esther

and Artur for coming along to assist.
This is the 12th year the Rotary Club of Hannans

have presented books to each of the students at East Kalgoorlie Primary School.

Sometimes this is the only book the students personally own.

They cherish the books and some have the book they received each year

which has pride of place in their homes.
