Morocco - Earthquake

A devastating earthquake, measuring 6.8 magnitude struck.

in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco at 11.11 pm on Friday 8 September

. Killing over 3,000 people, the earthquake affected more than 380,000,

 mainly in remote areas of the Atlas region.

ShelterBox, alongside our partners at Association Le Grand Atlas,

 Rotary in Morocco, and local people,

distributed aid to nearly 1200 households

Tents, thermal blankets, solar lights, and kitchen sets

 were distributed to people from rural mountain communities.

whose homes were either badly damaged or no longer standing.

Affected communities were consulted on what aid was.

needed and trained to use the equipment supplied.

Together, we’re supporting thousands of people from around.

 20 different village communities with emergency shelter

 and other essential items

The response is now complete.

Last week, the Global Commission for the

Certification of Poliomyelitis Eradication

 (GCC) convened in Geneva, Switzerland.

 In a special joint session, the GCC and the

 Eastern Mediterranean Regional Certification Commission (RCC)

 reviewed the endemic wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1)

 epidemiology. 

in Afghanistan and Pakistan

.  The joint meeting appreciated the ongoing eradication effort.

s in both remaining endemic countries,

 noting that WPV1-certification may still be feasible by 2026,

 while noting the efforts to stop WPV1 transmission

 will go beyond end-2023.

  The GCC also noted the mid-term review’s assessment.

 that interrupting cVDPV outbreaks.

 would take further time, and that certification of elimination of such strains.

 may be feasible by 2028, provided intensified efforts to stop.

 these strains are further strengthened,

 to interrupt all circulation at the latest by 2025. 

 With this in mind, the GCC deliberated on the criteria.

 for certifying the elimination of cVDPVs

 and reviewed the recommendations of an Expert Working Group, 

specially assigned for this piece of work.

 The GCC’s recommendations will be featured in the publication.

 of its report, to be released in due course.



nOPV2 rollout: 

Approximately 950 million doses of nOPV2

 have been administered across 35 countries.

Santa!

Sausage Sizzlers did not miss out.

Wembley Districts Junior Cricket Club





Last week the team from TLG (Teach, Learn,Grow)

 tslked about the program to provide free one-on-   one tutoring.

and mentoring to children in rural and remote Australian communities.

With the support of our partners, sponsors, donors, and volunteers

they ignite a movement to influence change through education.

. Because for many children, living in a rural or remote area of Australia.

means they will have significantly lower educational outcomes,

 which have a profound effect on their future





Rotary Osborne Park members

 were pleased to manage the sausage sizzle.

 for the Gwelup community corner playgroup

 Christmas party on Sunday.

 The party was a great success with Santa arriving.

 on a fire engine,

heaps of games, a couple of lovely ponies,

elves blowing bubbles.

and the lion’s small train.

Well done GCC Playgroup.























A BIG THANKS once again go to Corrigin Hardware

 for supplying the BBQ and venue for all

the Rotary sausage sizzles this year.

Thanks also to everyone who has been down.

 and supported us.

Hopefully everyone managed to drop by this morning.
