Rotary Club of Sutherland Annual Report 2011-12 Here is Ron’s Report Report on Trial adoption of Simbu Province of unaffordable humanitarian services by RAWCS D9750 #63 2008-12. Why trial necessary? To prevent the generated "resentment" through non – holistic attempts made to achieve "peace and good will from humanitarian services for the impoverished ". Results of trial 2008-2012. Positively there is sufficient discarded District equipment available to achieve holistic help for the needy in every district of Simbu PNG. Negativity is related to commitment required both from Donor (D9750) and Recipient (Simbu population Plus D9600) Volunteers whether Rotarian or other service groups to the ideology governing their commitment related to "service above self". Solutions to problems are not insurmountable and related to intelligent team vocational investigations. Chair: Ron Sommers ROTARY SOLAR LIGHTS Graeme Boler submitted an application to RAWCS national to gain approval for this club project. It is far reaching and could have enormous benefit to a half billion people around the world. There are plenty of logistical issues but Graeme has waded through this and got the project up and running. It is well accepted by many clubs. Graeme visits clubs as a guest speaker to get other clubs involved. There is very limited interest from this club. Chair: Graeme Boler Many thanks to Graeme Boler for providing the framework of this report; edited by Graham T, tidied up by David M and printed by Civic Copying. Page 14
Rotary Club of Sutherland Annual Report 2011-12 NEW GENERATIONS DIRECTOR: Perri Calderwood There have been several achievements made throughout the year with the New Generations. We have had two successful sessions of ‘U Turn The Wheel’ (UTTW) at St Patrick’s College, Sutherland. Anne Iffland has been instrumental in supporting and implementing this program. UTTW seeks to raise the awareness of safe driving habits for the senior students with the cooperation of the Ambulance, Police Services and community organisations. Rotary has received positive feedback from the school and there has been interest expressed by other schools and parental groups. Our nomination for the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF), Kieran Geraghty, was successful in his application and attended the forum in January this year. He was an excellent representative of the Rotary Club of Sutherland and upon his return to reported that he had an experience that not only expanded his skills and knowledge in the area of science, but allowed him to develop friendships which have extended beyond the experience. Throughout Kieran’s participation in, his father Steven has now become a member of the Rotary Club of Sutherland. We have recently interviewed and nominated a new participant, Gemma Pethybridge for the NYSF experience in 2013. We were able to send two representatives to the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) in January, Palak Thacker and Aaron Cridland. Both representatives demonstrated personal growth and Aaron’s change throughout the experience was noted by the District Governor, Phil Whyte. Currently we are investigating the possibility of an Interact club, and proposing a more formal partnership with St Patrick’s College, Sutherland. We are seeking a champion from within the club to support the school in the establishment and ongoing running of the club within the school. Students from St Patrick’s College Sutherland represented the Libya in the district MUNA experience at the Nan Tien Temple in May. With the assistance of their teacher Ms Jennifer Smith the students investigated the culture and ideology of the country and represented them in a model United Nations Forum. Our only shire Rotaract club, Como-Jannali is functioning reasonable well. Our club has supported their club in various ways. President 2011-12 Vanessa Fyfe and Vice-President, Teneal visited our club 21 st March to build a little better relationship between the clubs. We also supported their trivia night with 6 people attending. Considerable effort was made to attract suitable candidates for the Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment (RYPEN) three day program for students aged 14 to 17. Unfortunately, Kirrawee High school was unable to get the right people and it was too late to bring another school into consideration. Therefore we had no student representing our club. It is disappointing but it would seem that it is less popular with students these days. Page 15
