The three studentwinners of that contest will be honoured on theevening of Tuesday, May 24 at Monroe’s SeniorNight event starting at 6:00 p.m.When Past <strong>Rotary</strong> District Governor JohnAlexander and Sara Vasquez, both members of theMid SFV <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> broached the idea of theessay contest with Monroe’s Literacy CoachChristina Tyni, she was intrigued by the idea. Shefelt the contest not only promoted literacy, but alsobelieved the cash prizes would motivate students toparticipate.The Four-Way Test has been a cornerstone of<strong>Rotary</strong> International, a worldwide serviceorganisation, since the mid 1900s. It asks that thefollowing four questions be asked and answered:“In anything that we think, say or do: Is it the truth?Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill andbetter friendships? Is it beneficial to all concerned?Students were given the opportunity to participatethrough their English classes. Teachers forwardedthe top nine essays, three from each grade. Membersof the Mid SFV Board of Directors selected thetop three winners, each representing the 10th, 11thand 12th grade. Winners included MonalisaFortuna, a 10th grader who won the $75 prize, JoseMores, an 11th grader who won the $100 prize andRosa Medrano, a senior who won the $125. Theirthree essays were chosen for demonstrating anunderstanding of the importance of ethical guidelinesin everyday life and their ability tocommunicate that message.<strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> ofMID SAN FERNANDO VALLEYCalifornia, USAPage 6<strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> of <strong>Katanning</strong>

Monday, <strong>18</strong> <strong>July</strong>, 2011OTHER CLUBS PROJECTSStreet children in the PhilippinesBahay Tuluyan is a non government organisation working withstreet children in the Philippines.It provides social services including food, medicine and shelterto many street children.The children served by Bahay Tuluyan, broadly categorized as‘children in need of special protection’ fall into the following sub-categories:Street children; sexually abused; physically abused;psychologically abused; exploited; maltreated; neglected;abandoned; orphaned; working children; children in conflictwith the law; prostituted children; trafficked children; and,children whose rights are at risk of being abusedBahay Tuluyan was originally established in 1987 to serve thestreet children who flooded to the red light districts after theMarcos regime ended.Since the founding of Bahay Tuluyan, the situation of childrenin the Philippines has improved significantly.The <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> of Essendon has supported Bahay Tuluyansince 2005.The <strong>Club</strong> has provided funding for a Junior Health Workersprogram; a Theatre and Arts project; a Youth EnvironmentalStewards program; as well as a shipping container of goods forthe children; and the building of a house and recreationcentre.A delegation of club members, family and friends has visitedBahay Tulyan each year since 2005 to maintain ourrelationship and monitor progress and effectiveness of theprojects/initiatives we have supported.The <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> of Essendon is partnering with <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong>sof Manila Maynilad Seafront and Los Banos Makiling in thePhilippines and Kangan Batman TAFE locally.The <strong>Club</strong> has also been able to leverage the financial supportit has been able to provide by obtaining matching funds from<strong>Rotary</strong> International and its local <strong>Rotary</strong> District (District 9800).<strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> ofESSENDONVictoria, AustraliaPage 8Child health in Myanmar (Burma)Myanmar (Burma) is the 4th poorest country in the World.Despite being the major children's facility in the country, theYangon Children's Hospital is extremely under resourced.Yangon looks after children from all over this poverty strickencountry, at least those who are lucky enough to have familieswho can afford to pay for medication.For the past 10 years the <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> of Essendon hascontributed many and varied items of medical and associatedequipment to improve the Yangon Children's Hospital capabilityto treat sick and dying children.Medical equipment supplied has included OxygenConcentrators, a Defibulator, a Chemical Analyser, SyringePumps, Hearing Testers, Surgical Theatre equipment and thefit out of a Pathology Department, all to value of over$300,000 .It is estimated by the grateful hospital management that thesecontributions have saved the lives of over 10,000 children.The Essendon <strong>Club</strong>’s assistance with the hospital continues,as their acute need may never be satisfied.Other <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> of Essendon projects in Myanmar haveincluded support and development of the CommunityEducation Centre in Insein, a desperately poor area on the outskirtsof Yangon, supplying educational books, writing material,school uniforms and the means to access fresh, clean water.Support has also been provided for the Myanmar HandicappedCentre via giving of wheel chairs and computers for thedisabled.Two orphanages in Yangon have been supported over anumber of years with clothing, toys, balls, sport items andbooks as well as supplying a generator to an outlyingorphanage with no electricity supply.Additional projects include the Monk Hospital - a dedicatedfacility for aging and ill monks, and also the Muslim FreeHospital which is also Yangon's premier facility for eyesurgery.As with all health establishments in Myanmar, "premier" is arelative term, and all these places are chronically underresourced, poor and in desperate need of the most basic items.For example, a recent donation to the eye facility was qualitysutures.During Cyclone Nargis (June 2008) that hit the Southern part ofMyanmar killing over 150,000 people, the <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> ofEssendon was one of the first groups on the ground inMyanmar supplying much needed medical aid, food, water andshelter.Over $70,000 worth of aid was distributed by Essendon Rotariansin Myanmar in June 2008.This included paying for re-building thirty homes in the deltaarea, for those left homeless.With the generous assistance of the Australian Embassy, theclub has also undertaken the construction of a school.This year the club provided aid in goods and cash in excess of$350,000 to hospitals, schools and residents in need.<strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> of <strong>Katanning</strong>


Monday, <strong>18</strong> <strong>July</strong>, 2011INTERACTAn Interactor’s South African legacyby Stephen Yafa - The Rotarian - <strong>July</strong> 2011The three-year-old girl holding my hand will not letgo of it. So traumatised after being sexuallyabused that she cannot walk, she sits at a lowplay table in the cheerful activities room at theNonceba Family Counselling Centre inKhayelitsha, a township about 15 miles southeastof Cape Town, South Africa.For children like her, and for abused women aswell, Nonceba offers hope of healing fromemotional and physical wounds too deep andhorrific for most of us to imagine.Surrounding this newly constructed two-storybuilding are rows of shanties sprawled over 10 square miles ofterrain.Here, more than a million South Africans live, often eight or tento a single-room shack cobbled together from sheet metal andscavenged wood and separated from its neighbours by a fewfeet of dirt.An estimated 33 percent of girls who live in the townships willbe raped by the time they turn 21.The youngest among them are especially at risk because of thepernicious myth that sexual intercourse with a virgin can cureHIV/AIDS.In Khayelitsha, HIV-related infections are the leading cause ofdeath.Thirteen years ago, after a neighbour's daughter was assaulted,Khayelitsha resident Nocawe Mankayi took it upon herself toprotect and counsel the girl and other young survivors of rapeand abuse.Operating out of one room and funded by small donations,Mankayi sheltered the children and gave them something toeat.She called the makeshift center Nonceba – Xhosa for“sympathy.”Mankayi’s mission may sound familiar to Rotarians.In November 2006, The Rotarian told the story of a Cape Townteenager, Ashley Kaimowitz, secretary of the Interact <strong>Club</strong> ofHerzlia High School, who visited Nonceba with the other clubofficers in 2002.During that visit, a four-year-old put her arms around Ashleyand refused to let go.The emotional power of that bonding, and the depth of needthat it communicated, changed Ashley’s life – and, in time, thelives of thousands of abused and neglected township children.Enlisting the volunteer aid of some Cape Town filmprofessionals, Ashley dedicated herself to making adocumentary about Nonceba.Four months later, her 24-minute film, For the Love of OurChildren, premiered at her school.Within a year, thousands of South Africans had seen thedocumentary on television, learned about the children’s plight,and made donations.Ashley Kaimovwitz's mother, Megan, with a child fromKhayelitsha township. Photo by Stephen YafaIn 2005, as she was about to embark on a film study program inAustralia, 19-year-old Ashley was killed by a drunk driver.The <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> of Hout Bay, South Africa, which hadsponsored Ashley as a <strong>Rotary</strong> Youth Exchange student inJapan in 20<strong>04</strong>, established the Ashley Kaimowitz MemorialFund with several other clubs.Bolstered by a Matching Grant from The <strong>Rotary</strong> Foundation,they raised more than US$750,000 for the new centre.Modern and airy, Nonceba is equipped with a kitchen, medicalfacilities, counselling offices, and dormitories.Abused women and children can stay for as long as they needto.The morning I arrive at Nonceba, Don Peters is talking to agroup of visitors.Peters, of the Hout Bay club, was a major force in getting thenew facility funded, along with Past District Governor RodneyMazinter, of the <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> of Sea Point.All children who arrive at the centre receive a comfort box, heexplains, that contains a washcloth, toothbrush and toothpaste,underwear, and a piece of candy.The kids can choose their own comfort doll, hand-sewn byvolunteers in Cape Town and the United States.Downstairs, Mankayi and her staff of social workers, doctors,and administrators go about the daily business of rebuildinglives.“We’re working with 15 children at present, and we won’t let anygo back out until we know there’s someone to watch overthem,” Mankayi assures me with forceful passion.“Until this building was done, we had nowhere to shelter them.Now we do.”Listening to Peters’ presentation are Jeffrey and Megan Kaimowitz,Ashley’s parents.They’ve helped build and outfit the new Nonceba centre, wherenothing, I notice, is second-hand, threadbare, or makeshift.The spaces and furnishings are all spotless, colourful, andwelcoming. Jeffrey is deputy chair of the Nonceba Trust.Continued next page ►<strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> of <strong>Katanning</strong> Page 9


Monday, <strong>18</strong> <strong>July</strong>, 2011UNDERPRIVILIGED CHILDRENThe Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali Teams Up with <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong>Nusa Dua and Pure Tennis To Provide a Fun Tennis Clinic Forunder privileged children...It was a busy morning on the tennis courts of The WestinResort Nusa Dua, Bali as 40 children from 2 orphanagesfrom Bali Life and Dana Punia were treated to a funintroductory session of tennis.The group was invited to participate in the popular‘Learn To Play Tennis’ clinic organised by the <strong>Rotary</strong><strong>Club</strong> of Nusa Dua and The Westin resort Bali.This event was held in conjunction with the 20th <strong>Rotary</strong><strong>Club</strong> Nusa Dua Annual Charity Tennis Tournament.“The Westin Nusa Dua, Bali has proudly mentored DanaPunia Orphanage since 2010 and it was indeed a greathonour to be part of this worthwhile event.Seeing the smiles on the faces of these children thismorning and the happiness generated from the tennisclinic was simply priceless,” comments Mr. Bipan Kapur,General Manager of the resort.He adds, “Our ultimate aim is to expose underprivilegedchildren to different experiences that will have a positiveimpact on their general knowledge and overalldevelopment.We have conducted a number of skill-building initiativesincluding a distance English learning program usingSkype.We hope to continue supporting these children to the bestof our ability to give them a brighter future.”The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali enjoys a prime beachfrontlocation in the exclusive Nusa Dua enclave onBali’s southern tip with 334 cosy rooms complete withthe renown Heavenly® bed; a place where you can be atyour best and experience total renewal.Adjacent to the Resort is The Bali International ConventionCentre, the largest meeting resource on the islandconsisting of Ballroom, exhibition space, auditorium and17 meeting rooms and sufficient space to cater for up to10,000 participants.Both facilities make a successful mix of business andleisure possible.Underprivileged childrenenjoying the ‘Learn to Play Tennis’ clinicat the Westin Resort inNusa Dua, Bali.An Interactor’s South AfricanlegacyFrom previous page ►“Without <strong>Rotary</strong>’s involvement, none of this would be here,”he says.“It’s that simple.”But when Peters queues up Ashley’s documentary, theKaimowitzes leave the room.Six years after her death, their pain is still palpable.Still, they have managed to channel their grief to help thechildren who arrive at the centre.By doing so, they both say, they have been able honour theirdaughter’s memory.It was soon after Ashley’s death that Peters, Mazinter, andseveral other Rotarians decided to raise funds for this newcenter. The doors opened in 2008. Ashley’s presence is feltand seen in a bead portrait that hangs prominently on a wallfacing the entrance. Watching Megan Kaimowitz cradling atwo-month-old township baby in her arms, I am struck with anawareness of the need to nurture these children. That is NocaweMankayi’s gift and Ashley’s legacy to everyone whopasses through the door.<strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> ofNUSA DUABali, IndonesiaBusiness conventions are importantbecause they demonstrate how manypeople a companycan operate without.Page 10Ashley Kaimowitzdedicated herself tomaking adocumentary aboutNonceba.Photo by Steven Yafa<strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> of <strong>Katanning</strong>
