Congratula ons & thank you to Rotary Down Under Magazine for 50 years of informa on and entertainment! DISTRICT 9675 APRIL 2015 AROUND AND ABOUT “Around the district and about Rotary” “The Adventures of Bazza” Inside this issue: Our District Team—Page 2 Barry Antees District Governor 2014-2015 Stop Press - Scholarship OPP – Page 3 Congratula ons to all Rotarians and Rotaractors for your enormous support in the relief opera ons for Vanuatu following the impact of Cyclone Pam. These 83 islands have been devastated and the rebuilding will take months if not years considering the infrastructure damage and the loss of their food supply line. I ask all clubs to consider your local communi es to assist you in sending teams in the months to come to Vanuatu when the list of projects come onboard with RAWCS, once they have been iden fied by our Rotary Clubs and other NGO’s on the ground. The benefits of working with our local communi es with the skills required to assist and be part of your Rotary Club would also be a great public awareness that Rotary is changing the world.

The concept of the six chari es joining together for an annual open day event on May 30th is to enable them to cut through the PR/media barriers and directly access the NSW public. Our role is to assist on the day and collect funds from the public at a number of public events around Sydney and the Wollongong areas. This is similar to how we collect on be-‐ half of the Red Shield Appeal day for the Salva on Army, so we will be iden fied as collec-‐ tors for NSW Kids in Need, but we can wear our Rotary branded clothing to acknowledge we are doing this as our part of the contribu on via voluntary assistance. The open day events range from the local Fire Brigand to major city buildings and Navy ships. Loca on details are detailed further in the newsle er.

Sonnet for ANZAC Day Sound the Last Post again, lest we forget There’s More inside April issue……………………………... the freedom that we cherish has been bought not found like mushrooms in the field;; the debt is ours to pay, mindful of those who fought and fell - yet still they held the torch aloft! May we remain as zealous to withstand the traitors who would make our fibres soft, as well as enemies beyond the land. The trumpet has the power to move us still, and though the debris of a flood of years lies over hand and mind, an aching thrill comes rising perilously close to tears. Sound the Last Post to hold the memory bright, then sound the Rouse and keep the torch alight. Alf Wood 5 Na onal Rotary Success Conference—focussing on the future of Rotary!

Polio as of 25th March 2015 – Globally 21 reported cases The launch in Nigeria was supported by the partners of the GPEI, including the Nigerian Government, the World Health Organiza-‐ of Type 1 (1 in Afghanistan & 20 in Pakistan). Inac vated polio vaccine (IPV) was launched this week in Bangla-‐ desh, as part of global efforts to introduce the vaccine globally by end-2015, ahead of the planned switch from trivalent OPV to bivalent OPV in early 2016. “Together with GPEI, Gavi is sup-‐ por ng an unprecedented push to introduce IPV into most coun-‐ tries by the end of 2015. Strong rou ne immuniza on is an es-‐ sen al factor to interrupt and maintain zero polio transmission. During March, Interna onal Women’s Day, recognised the con-‐ tribu on of women on a global scale, and not least were the women at the heart of polio eradica on. It is safe to say that polio eradica on would not be possible without the contribu on of women. In some of the remaining countries with polio, the ‘cultural capi-‐ tal’ of women makes them some of the most valuable assets to local polio teams. In Pakistan, where we face the greatest chal-‐ lenges to polio eradica on today, the advantages of having fe-‐ male health workers are clear. Very young children are o en missed on campaigns, which can be a ributed (among other reasons) to the fact that they cannot be sent outside of the house to receive the vaccine from male health workers, as their older siblings can. Over 80% of polio cases in 2014 affected such very young children, under 2 years of age. Polio cases are signifi-‐ cantly fewer in areas such as Punjab, where there is at least one female health worker in over 90% of mobile health teams. Nigeria introduces the inac vated polio vaccine into rou ne immuniza on system. on, UNICEF, Rotary Interna onal, the US Centres for Disease Control and Preven on and the Gavi Alliance. Combining OPV and IPV has threefold benefit: ac ng as risk mi ga on in the global plan to phase out the use of OPVs in 2016, boos ng im-‐ munity against type 1 and 3 wild poliovirus (WPV) and also tack-‐ ling the risk of circula ng vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV). While the programme has made significant progress against polio in Nigeria, con nuing to strengthen rou ne immuniza on and health systems will be crucial to maintain and magnify the gains of recent years. Keep up the good work please everyone, the best way for us to help these remaining countries to eradicate polio, is to keep up our funding of course but create greater awareness within our communi es. We are looking forward to seeing everyone on the 2nd of May at Polio + you. Many of you will be in the area a er District Assembly so make it a worthwhile day, contribute to Polio eradica on and enjoy the rare opportunity to be entertained by Chris ne Anu. Keith. February 26 this year, Nigeria became the first polio endemic country to introduce the inac vated polio vaccine (IPV) into its rou ne immuniza on system. This is a quantum-leap opportuni-‐ ty for Nigeria in the polio eradica on endgame strategy. The introduc on of IPV into rou ne immuniza on systems is part of one of the four major objec ves of the Global Polio Erad-‐ ica on Ini a ve (GPEI). In May 2012, the World Health Assem-‐ bly called on all countries which were using only the oral polio vaccine (OPV) to introduce at least one dose of IPV into rou ne immuniza on schedules by the end of 2015. This is the largest globally coordinated vaccine introduc on project in history. 7 Imagina on Library Illawarra One year ago our Imagina on Library project started taking registra ons in the Illawarra. If you are considering star ng the project in your community, you may be encouraged by some feed-‐ back we have received. This came from Barnardos. “Today I asked a single dad about the difference the IL books have made to his son aged 2 years. He said that - His son loves books and constantly brings them to him to read. His son does the same to Nan and Pop who also live with him. His son points to pictures in the books and says lots of new words. He feels his son’s language development is going well and his son is talking more. He said he loves the cuddles he has with his son while reading stories. This single dad would not have had access to good quality books on his single parent income, at present he is a stay at home dad without employment. He also said his son has a favourite book about a chicken that he turns the pages on his own making chicken noises.” One mum was going out to buy the family's first bookcase to hold the books. The following comments did not come from our families although I’m sure they could have. “I enjoy reading books now as well.” This was from a preschool specifically for indigenous children. “My son has ADHD. The Imagina on Library has greatly improved The teachers are full of praise and excited about the scheme. his reading habits and his a en on span seems to have improved One of the teachers said that parents were "excited, ecsta c, and as well.” thrilled" to be receiving the books. Children were bringing their books to the centre and asking staff Photos provided by the Illawarra Advocate 26 Nov 2014 and story provid-‐ ed by Sue Clark, Chairperson, to read them.

Currently, women who have complica ons in birth, or new born babies who are at risk, have to travel for many hours to Kolkata, on the worst roads, to receive treatment. A ‘Maternal Health Centre’ is being built in memory of Hon. Darling Paresh Rajda, who died last year, and The Darlings are fi ng out the centre with medical equipment. Over $21,000 was raised recently at a special fundraiser for this cause. Holi Mela is a village fair held in almost every village in India and is known as the fes val of colours. The Darlings’ event at Petersham Town Hall held on Saturday 28 February 2015 was a ended by over 260 people with tradi onal dancers, henna ta ooing, clothing & jewellery stalls, astrologers and a special a endance from our major sponsor Enchan ng Trav-‐ el who flew two people from Bangalore to a end on the night. The Interactors and Rotaractors also played a valuable part in mak-‐ ing the night so successful. It really was an intergenera onal effort.

On a stunning autumn morning early in March, the Qantas Jumbo - City of Canberra made a historic land-‐ ing at the Illawarra Regional airport where it will now become a prized display in the HARS avia on museum. The pilots said it was a special moment seeing thousands of people lining the runway with cameras flashing away. It was an early start for members of Wollongong & Corrimal Rotary Clubs who assisted HARS volunteers & Shellharbour Council staff during the morning undertaking VIP duties, crowd & parking control. In addition, the Corrimal Caravan team was kept busy cooking and serving breakfast to the people who came to watch and soon sold out!
