“Afghanistan is one of two countries in the world where polio remains endemic. With only one case of wild poliovirus reported so far this year, compared to 56 in 2020, there has never been a better time to eradicate polio. However, the polio programme will struggle to respond if the basic immunization infrastructure begins to collapse around it.” – Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, and Dr Ahmed Al-Mandhari, WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean on their visit to Kabul. 

At the end of June, GPEI announced a series of commitments to advance gender equality at the Generation Equality Forum in Paris. The Forum kickstarted a 5-year journey to accelerate ambitious action and implementation towards global gender equality. During this week’s United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), WHO held a side event to discuss the work of global health-related initiatives to tackle gender inequality and promote the need for gender transformative strategies in COVID-19 recovery and beyond.  Jennifer E. Jones, first woman named Rotary President-Elect joined the panel discussion as GPEI’s core partners, highlighting the importance of addressing gender barriers not only in polio eradication, but also in global health. She reminded UNGA delegations that only through joint action among global health partners and communities, we will achieve our mutual public health goals, including polio eradication.

No new WPV and cVDPV cases reported this week

The Rotary Club of Ascot holds an annual major fund-raising project,

 Bricktober, where funds raised go towards the support of programs

 for young children and other Rotary and community projects.

 Bricktober is a fun event that showcases models built from LEGO

® by fans of the brick in Perth WA. 

This year it is again being held at Curtin Stadium, Kent Street, Bentley 

on 9-10 October 2021.

 At just $36 for a family pass this offers exceptional value

 for money for families looking for something different

 to entertain their children and with the amazing displays 

built from LEGO®, building competitions, an interactive zone 

and exclusive merchandise, 

                                  Bricktober is a must visit these next school holidays. 

                                        Tickets available at the beginning of September

                                                and can be accessed on our website:

                                                        http://www.bricktober.info/ 

We are also looking for enthusiastic, energetic, and friendly volunteers

 to assist in the general running of our Bricktober event

                    and as you would appreciate volunteers are integral in the smooth running

                                    of any event and the hours, they put in are priceless. 

                               Applications to volunteer this year are open and feel free 

                                     to forward details to your family and friends.

Our club is proud to be recognised as a Gold Champion

 in support of Shelter box which is an organisation 

that helps families who have lost their homes to disaster and conflict

 










The Rotary Club of Bridgetown is proud to have donated $55,000

 to the Blackwood Youth Action Group.

 This money had been raised from our

 Tour of the Blackwood event earlier this year 

which attracted and amazing 400 participants!

The money will provide ongoing support for a psychologist

 and a social worker in the Blackwood area

. This is the fourth year Rotary have assisted BYA in addressing

 youth mental health issues in our community. 

We have strong support from riders and major sponsors

 Talison, and Wesfarmers.

WA regions need more local mental health support for young people living 

in areas away from major regional cities and towns.

Planning is underway for next year with March 12, 2022, as the ride date.

 We have three concurrent rides varying in length from 30 to 130 kilometres.

Let’s make next year even bigger!

Our youth are our future and Rotary is helping support that future!














 

This week PDG Robyn Yates, PDG Bob & Wendy Cooper from D9465

 It’s been such a great feeling knowing we are helping
 this vital industry and our farmers
