Nsamba Henry

 


I am from Rotary Kampala Kawempe D9213

Rotary bringing smiles 🤓

Good morning from Kampala Uganda.

The simple things that nourish our souls are the smiles we get in service. Rotary.

 This is simple, each Rotarian you identify a lonely elderly

 in your neighbourhood,

 who you can buy for bread, sugar, soap and other basics that can bring a smile.

.it is a game of every Rotarian.

 


 

 

Nakervile

 https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=nakivale%20rotaract%20club




 

In another area Nakervile 290 km southwest of Kampala

 is a refugee camp where 120000 refugees

 are subsistence looked after by the Uganda Government

They are provided with some land to grow vegetables and build shacks.

The government provides protein in the form of beans to the refugees,

 other than that they fend for themselves.

Most of the refugees are from the Congo

 

Within this refugee camp is a Rotaract Club established in 2016

 

Nakivale Rotaract Club 

is one of the fewest clubs in the world

 with much blessings

to host the Rotary international president Jennifer Jones on 5th September 2022,

 we shall always remain grateful for her dedication 

to serve and change communities..



#Imagine creating a peaceful environment for others

#Imagine where people respect others rights

#Imagine nations have good governance for their citizens

#Imagine the world of low levels of corruption

#Imagine living in the world of free flow of information

#Imagine where communities, societies, nations have good relationship and collaboration.

Then #imaginerotary2022 RI president Jennifer Jones special visit

 to Nakivale Rotaract club and Nakivale Rotary peace club in Uganda.

 









Nakivale Rotaractors fund most of their projects with their own money.

 Martin Rubondo, left, and Jean Lwaboshi spend their mornings making bricks,

which they sell to raise money to fund music lessons for refugees


The Rotary Club of Southern Districts has applied for a $30,000
Global Grant to help at the refugee camp mentioned above
To supply power  for the camp
this will enable the use of
sewing machines and computers

To mark World Human Rights Day and promote shelter

 as a human right, 

we'll be holding our annual Giving Day on Friday 9th.

With over 100 million people made homeless

 by disaster and conflict, we will continue to raise awareness

 of the issue with our #ShelterIsAHumanRight campaign.

Right now,

 ShelterBox I is busy in Pakistan, Ukraine, Ethiopia, Mozambique,

 Syria, Yemen and the Lake Chad Basin,

 where hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee their homes.

For many, the COVID-19 pandemic continues

 to be a disaster on top of disaster. 

Affected communities and people living in overcrowded camps

 are left especially vulnerable, with little-to-no space

 for self-isolating and social distancing.

DONATE TODAY AND YOUR GIFT WILL BE DOUBLED!

You don't have to wait until 9th Dec to make a difference.

Now, more than ever, shelter saves lives; we need your support.
 
All the best
 
Mike

ShelterBox Australia CEO

·         In Indonesia, VDPV2 was isolated from an AFP case 

(7-year old child) with onset of paralysis on 9 October, from Aceh province.

  At this time, there is no evidence of circulation.

  Nevertheless, Indonesian national and local public health authorities,

 with support from partners, are implementing full field investigation

 and planning a response as appropriate, including

 as a very initial response, an IPV catch-up campaign

 in the immediately affected area.

Tens of thousands of West Australian families will struggle

 to put food on the table this Christmas.

Hunger is a growing crisis in WA with at least half a million people 

struggling to afford enough food to eat in the past year.

 Sadly more than 100,000 are children.

The 2022 Give a Feed festive season campaign is now underway.

 This is a key Rotary service initiative that all WA Rotarians 

can actively promote with passion and vigour.

It's a great way to advocate corporate gifting right across

 the professional and business community, 

with family, friends, colleagues, staff, customers 

and suppliers etc.

In 2022 Give A Feed has set a goal of providing 3,000 

Give A Feed hampers to West Australian families in need

 so they can celebrate the festive season and not go hungry. ​

Your kind donation of $30 will provide a Give A Feed hamper filled

 with festive food for a family of four to enjoy.

Our hampers are packed by volunteers and distributed by Foodbank WA

 to ensure they reach those who are most vulnerable in our community.​

To reach our target we ask for your generous support,

 please Give A Feed today

 and help us share this message in the festive spirit.

To donate, go to www.giveafeed.com.au 

and give hope to a WA family in need this Christmas.

Thank you and Season’s Greetings

historic, majestic Woodbridge House, Ford St, Woodbridge,

the excellent Icon AV sound, it is outdoors picnic style 5-7.00pm,

and as many friends, family and colleagues as you can encourage to attend.

 Again there will be a coffee van on site for drinks.  

Abundant free parking at the adjacent Governor Stirling Senior High School. 

 Plus the timing allows anyone who wishes to still catch the light show.

 

Once again, all performers are extraordinary,

Rotary members packing for ‘Give a Feed‘ at Food Bank.

Ladies packed, men made boxes, kept the benches filled with product,

 sealed boxes and disposed of used boxes and plastic.

In total the 6 ladies packed 640 boxes.

 We broke the previous record.

Lots of great fellowship and how good to be able

 to help those who need help.
















Last night we had Joshua Morley speak to our dinner meeting 

about attending RYLA and how it has affected his life.

 He was an engaging speaker and it was a pleasure

 and very uplifting to hear about his experiences.

 He’d like to attend RYLEAP and become a facilitator

 for RYLA in the future.

We also heard from our own member Neil Wilkie 

about attending the Dalkeith Rotary Club in Scotland

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. It was very interesting to hear the history of Dalkeith

 and we’d like to establish a connection with our Scottish counterparts.

 








This morning, the Club collaborated with Subi Action

 and Rotary Subiaco to volunteer at the first Subi Suitcase Markets.

We helped to check-in and direct over 40 suitcase sellers to their bays,

 and give out feedback forms 🧳




















Rotarians Ivan Hunt and John Lightfoot carry out regular maintenance

 on the windmill at The Forts on Mount Clarence, Albany.

The Forts is an old military site dating from around 1890 

and is now a museum precinct including the National Anzac Centre.

 In 1987 the Forts was restored and the windmill was brought

 in from the Millbrook area because it was an older "four poster"

 tower type rather than the more modern "three posters".

 This gave an authentic replacement for the original windmill.

 Through an agreement in 1989 with the then Town of Albany 

the Rotary Club of Albany Port accepted the role of maintaining the windmill.

Recently Ivan and John were there applying their experience again

 to keep the windmill turning.

The photos show the windmill, with its Rotary plaque, 

in it's setting overlooking the City of Albany.

 Ivan and John accessed the windmill gears that drive the pump action.

 Ivan had to fabricate a new seal for the base of the butterfly screw

 to keep water out and then reassemble the mechanism.

The job was finished and the windmil

l is ready to roll for the next 6 months!








Recently some of the members organised a catch-up dinner at 

Francoforte Spaghetti Bar

Members, both new and old, got an opportunity to network 

and share stories with each other.

 It's social events like these which strengthens connections within the Club 

- Thank you Minh for organising the dinner!

Great day with plentiful food and culture. 

Well done Spanish Club.

 













A few photos of just some of the Attadale Rotary volunteers

 who were helping out at at the Applecross Rotary Jacaranda Festival

(Many thanks for the pics Jeff and Heather).

 The Festival was held a week earlier this year and the weather

 was very much cooler and the rain was only a scattered shower

 or two early in the morning. 

Always a very successful day with so many craft 

and food stalls etc.

Congratulations Applecross Rotary 

for another wonderful event this year.

 













Much concentration by our members at the twilight croquet game
