Susie Lachal from Teachers Across Borders (TAB) https://www.teachersacrossborders.org/ was the club guest speaker on 13 March 2024. From 2005 TAB began to focus their efforts on Cambodia, helping teacher colleagues rebuild its educational system from bottom to top. Cambodian teachers in small villages and cities have been supported by TAB through teacher education, professional development, curriculum development as well as improved classroom amenities resulting in increased school retention, particularly for girls. Since 2009, Susie has had a long-standing relationship with the Camberwell Rotary Club partnering to assist government schools in Kampong Thom, Cambodia. The work is centered on Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) combined with Menstrual Health Management (MHM) for around 14,500 students, 350 teachers across 60 schools. Some of the Camberwell Rotary Club funding achievements in education in Kampong Thom include: - 2009-2014 teacher training workshops for 6 years ($2,000 per annum)
- 2015-2018 transportation costs for teachers from rural areas to the Provincial Teacher Training College to attend TAB workshops for 5 days ($4,000 per annum – equivalent to around $10 per teacher)
- 2016 clean running water and toilet projects in school
- 2017-2019 2 x 3 classroom buildings constructed on 2 sites
- 2018 purchase of school furniture for a rural secondary school of 120 students ($8,000)
The process of the delivery of services is initiated with a meeting with principals and village chiefs to discuss their needs and what can be offered. An agreed plan is jointly formed with the principal’s responsibility agreeing to maintain the infrastructure and notify TAB when repairs and maintenance are required. All materials are purchased locally, and local trades are engaged from Kampong Thom. Villagers and students volunteer their time to help digging trenches, painting etc.

On a beautiful afternoon of Wednesday 6 March 2024, around 470 guests attended a delightful lunch at the Glasshouse in the Olympic Park Precinct Melbourne, for the Myeloma’s Greatest Call Long Lunch. Myeloma Australia is proud to be partnering with three prominent Australians who have all been touched by myeloma in some way - Sandy Roberts, Frankie J. Holden OAM and the Hon Dr Denis Napthine AO. Through their profiles they all strive to build a deeper understanding of myeloma in our community and driven to support the pathway to cure. As a legendary sports commentator, Myeloma ambassador Sandy Roberts was central amongst the well-known sports media personalities who made up the panel above. The panel members provided support to much loved friend and colleague as they hosted and delivered very witty entertainment as well as inspiring Myeloma stories. Amongst those was the story of our own member, Adrian Campbell who was discharged from hospital the day before to attend the lunch. The Camberwell Rotary Club occupied two tables at the event, and all agreed it was truly a transformative experience.

A club meeting was held on 28 February at the RIMERN warehouse in Brunswick. Suzie Cole, Prahan Rotarian who the key lead of the initiative provided a comprehensive tour of the facility. RIMERN is a multi-club Rotary project operating in Inner Melbourne, providing furniture, appliances and homewares to welfare agency clients who have are experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, post-incarceration, refugee displacement and other crises. Members and guests were impressed by the operation now in its fourth year managed by a dedicated group of volunteers. Suzie Cole emphasized the desperate need for volunteers. We are grateful for the ongoing efforts since inception, of Camberwell Rotary members Jo-Anne Tamlyn, David Troon and Phil Young and in the past Steve Clarke who tagged and tested the electronic goods coming into the facility. Club members and any other willing volunteers are encouraged to visit and lend a hand at the facility. Also, if could source household goods from white goods to linen and kitchenware, please contact RIMERN. This is a valuable project serving the needs of the community with the positive environmental impact of diverting unwanted goods that would otherwise go to landfill. Visiting Rotarian Patrick Ngasso and his wife Miriama from Abuja, Nigeria holidaying in Australia (pictured left with President George de Souza) was absolutely in awe and inspired by what RIMERN’s work and impact. We wish them safe travels as they head back home.

The evening of Wednesday of 14 February 2024 was the FORaMeal packing night. It is a rewarding all club activity together with their family and friends who packed in excess of 14,000 food packs as emergency relief meals for those impacted by natural disasters. A project of our sister club Canterbury Rotary Club, it has become a much-anticipated annual club event. 23 members and 20 guests attended the night. Each year over 250,000 meals are packed by Rotarians and volunteers to vulnerable individuals and families across the Asia Pacific region in times of disaster. To date, over 800,000 meals have been distributed free of charge. Thank you to all who attended including a number of Justine Paragreen work colleagues, prospective members Victor Wang and Amadini Perera.

Former Camberwell Rotary Club member Kerry Anne Frost (centre) continues to be actively involved in Team Vista. Their goal is to is to empower young people in Moshi, Tanzania, Africa to improve their lives and better support their community through quality education. This includes building of the infrastructure and providing school supplies. The Camberwell Rotary Club has supported this project for many years. Below is an extract from their latest community update: Education Update At Team Vista, our newly established home boasts a spacious room transformed into a vibrant classroom, enhanced by its light, airy atmosphere and improved with two fans installed by our own Moses. This inviting space serves as a learning hub for primary students grappling with English, who receive dedicated lessons from our sponsored teachers, Ernest and Angel, each afternoon. Recognising the importance of nourishment alongside education, we ensure these young learners are provided with afternoon tea following their lessons, a crucial supplement given that many lack a reliable evening meal. The educational support extends to Form Two students, who have previously struggled with mathematics, now finding the subject both enjoyable and engaging under the guidance of Peter, Imrani, Lembris, and Kerry.

On 6 December Club Assembly four committee chairs provided an update of each committee. The presentation outlined the activities and projects by each committee over the past six months. The Committee Chairs represented were the Youth and Vocation, Community Service, International and the Hawthorn Makers Market. Committees are the ‘engine room’ of the club and are vital to achieve the ideals of Rotary of making a positive impact in the lives of people both locally and internationally. Their actions reflect a window to the world about the level of our members’ commitment. The club is proud of the committees’ achievements and grateful of living up the Rotary motto of 'Service about Self.'

The International Committee has just organized and paid for a consignment of 10 complete computer systems to go to a school in Timor Leste. The Club was contacted by Anna Matarazzo who introduced herself: 'I recently volunteered in Timor Leste at Instituto Profissional de Canossa (IPDC) and The Canossa school in Dili. I am keen to find out how I can get/buy computers for the Canossa school (4000 children) currently they only have 25 working computers which are really old anyway). St Vincent de Paul and the Catholic Diocese of Darwin of which I’m part of are happy to find the funds to do this.' The freight charges will be met by the Catholic Diocese of Darwin.

Guest speaker Dr Gayle Smerdon Management Coach, presented on the topic of ‘Overcoming Overwhelm’. Gayle is a writer, speaker, coach and trainer. She holds a PhD in the Social Sciences, and Grad. Dip. in Psychology. Her professional mantra is ‘Doing work that matters’. Amongst the books she’s authored are ‘iDevelop: How to take charge of your professional development by becoming a conscious learner’, ‘DO ONE THING and do it deep: How to focus and energise your workplace’ and a work in progress titled on ‘Team Up: How to lift your people and productivity’, due for publication later in 2023.
With many people finding their lives are beyond busy, with too much to do and too little time, Gayle asked us to consider not just how to get better at being productive but to find ways to prioritise our tasks. But she encouraged us to ask bigger questions about what’s important to our lives and how we balance the different aspects that enrich us and help us be happy and healthy.
We don’t want to look back on lives that were busy but on lives that were full. Gayle acknowledged that while these are not things we don’t know, it’s easy to lose sight of them when overwhelmed with information, activities and distractions. Gayle provided a number of tools we can use for clarity about what's important in our many roles at any stage of life and assist us in managing multiple tasks effectively. In short, she shared great insights on how to care for our own welfare by adopting some practical tips as we navigate the life’s ongoing demands.

Camberwell Rotary needs more Volunteers!To do good in the world, we rely on our Club Members to help with our fundraising projects and help with our various charitable projects. Think of the Camberwell Art Show, the Camberwell Sunday Market, the Hawthorn Makers Market, Rotary Inner Melbourne Emergency Relief Network, Camp Getaway, even Rotary Overseas Recycled Playgrounds. And wouldn't it be great if new could engage some non-Rotarians to help us? They may even eventually become new Members! Well, the City of Boroondara is holding the Boroondara Volunteer Expo on Wednesday 22 March at the Hawthorn Town Hall from 12pm - 6pm and President Fabienne has agreed to have a table at the Expo to attract new volunteers.

Ever wondered if you have already registered for the next Club Meeting? Did you remember to register your spouse/partner/guest? Ever wondered what your upcoming volunteer commitments are? Then look no further than "My ClubRunner" and "My Profile/Commitments"! Simply log in to the Member Area on the Home Page (top right-hand corner) and select My ClubRunner then Commitments - simples (as the meerkat says)! I also notice that some Members have never logged in to the Member Area of the Home Page, and others are infrequent - I encourage all Members to log in regularly (you only have to do it once as your computer/device will remember your login details), as this gives you access to a wide range of Club documentation and functionality not available to non-members. For instance, once you are logged in, you can use the Calendar that appears on our Home Page to register and pay for events - you don't have to wait for emails and reminders. So please log in and check out your profile - if you have forgotten your password, there is a reset functionality available on the website, and if you require any further assistance, as always please don't hesitate to contact me.

The conference was held at The National Convention Centre, Canberra located within the city centre. 400 Rotarians and spouses attended from across Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands. The conference recently opened to anyone in Rotary in the Oceania region. There was a distinct level of additional energy and enthusiasm with the representation of a younger cohort. The conference was jointly chaired and both had equal representation on topics covered. A quote that reinforces the importance of this partnership is ‘What we do today will determine if Rotary is here in the future’. The impact Rotaractors in Oceania and globally augurs well for the future of Rotary. A relatively new development I was unaware of is that it is now possible to have dual membership, that is, be a member of both a Rotary club and a Rotaract club - something I will consider pursuing.

Hi all, As always things are polepole (slow) so achieving my list of ‘jobs to do’ each week never really happens. We spent most of the week catching up with the various primary schools, checking on the kids and trying to get a letter written and a short video. Their English is so incredibly poor. Accommodation is very basic and to get enough warm water to wash my hair is a challenge. There is also no wifi at the accommodation. I have resorted to buying a ‘router’ for wifi for Team Vista house. Costly but what a difference it has made.....

From L to R: Peter Allen (Rotary Camberwell), Bob McMullin (Rotary Club of Warrnambool Central), Chris Rantall (Guest speaker), John Hutson ( Rotary Club of Warrnambool Central & event organiser) and Adrian Campbell (Rotary Camberwell) The City of Warrnambool celebrated the 150th running of the Grand Annual Steeplechase this week, and the pre meet lunch organised by the Warrnambool Central Rotary Club was attended by 130 guests from all over the State. The charity partner of the event was Myeloma Australia, and our Club members Peter Allen and Adrian Campbell joined the lunch - representing the Club's award winning Rotary Outreach Myeloma Program (ROMP). We are pleased to report about $9,000 was raised for the Myeloma Foundation on the day through very generous donations and raffles - special thanks to local Rotary organisers John Hutson and Bob McMillan (who lives with myeloma). The Warrnambool community are remarkable ambassadors & fundraisers for those living with Myeloma - with this lunch event together with the city's recent 38mate Walk in February, they have now raised close to $20,000 for the cause - which is the best result of any town or city in Australia. Well done Warrnambool. The Camberwell Club's multi District ROMP initiative has sown seeds in Rotary Clubs all over the State, to support those living with blood cancers in regional Victoria and to improve health outcomes for those dealing with cancer. A cause worth fighting for in all our regional communities.

Good Afternoon I hope you are all keeping well. I am writing to you all today in a last bd effort to get a project done that our Cluster has been working on for over 12 months. Working with the East Gippsland Rotary Clubs and Landcare we would like to achieve the planting of 7000 trees over the weekend of 31st July/1st August. Due to the last Covid 19 lockdown our initial planting date has been and gone. We are running out of time to get these trees into the ground. I ask if you could kindly extend an invitation to your members to join us at this wonderful project. I do apologise for the very late notice but I am not prepared to cancel the project. As Victorians are free to travel many of our initial volunteers have taken the opportunity to travel interstate so I am seeking more volunteers. The goal of this project was to plant as many trees as possible over a weekend, to inject much needed income into these towns who during covid have seen very few holiday makers and of course enjoy the fellowship of fellow Rotarians. Peter Sindrey, President of Lakes Entrance Rotary has worked tirelessly to make this project happen and it is up to us to ensure we see the project through. Ideally I would like to confirm our numbers to Peter no later than Monday next week 31st July/1st August: - Rotarians and or friends of Rotarians to book their own accommodation. We will be based in Bairnsdale. A variety of accommodation is available.
- Lunch will be provided on both the Saturday and the Sunday, buses will transport our volunteers out to 4 properties
- A function will be organised at the Bairnsdale RSL for Saturday night 31st August
- We encourage our volunteers to bring basic gardening tools,. (gloves, hand tools, spades, rakes, picks etc..)
- Good footwear is essential
- Wet weather gear.
If you have any members interested in attending or need more information, please do not hesitate to contact me: Donna Martin, Bacchus Marsh Rotary Club 0437 177 031 dlmartin260@gmail.com

May is..... Every month in Rotary has a special purpose. Refer to your Club Directory if you are planning an event to correlate with the Rotary Calendar. May is also National Myeloma month in Australia. May is National Myeloma Month - and for the Rotary Club of Camberwell, our ROMP project. ROMP - the Rotary Outreach Myeloma Program - is our Club's Centenary year project, in collaboration with Myeloma Australia. Myeloma is an incurable blood cancer, of no known cause, which affects approximately 2000 Australians every year. This RC100 accredited project is designed to provide access for all people diagnosed with Myeloma in Victoria to have easy access to a Myeloma support nurse and support group, run in-person or via virtual means. Our club ROMP committee are pleased to report that all 9 jurisdictions across Victoria, supported by local Rotary clubs, are now linked into this excellent program. And this week, their "38mate" program was launched - checkout the photos below! 38 Australians are diagnosed with Myeloma every week - every myeloma patient, their family and regional myeloma communities deserve ready access to specialist myeloma nurses, information about evolving myeloma treatments and advice about living with myeloma. If you haven't yet received your copy of the ROMP newsletter, ask Adrian Campbell or Peter Allen for a copy.

March 31, 2021 Artificially intelligent beehives are being installed at Victorian ports to protect against exotic pests and diseases. Bega Cheese’s Purple Hive project, a solar-powered device that detects bee pest Varroa destructor, will be installed alongside several sentinel hives managed and monitored by Agriculture Victoria. Purple Hive provides alerts in real-time using artificial intelligence and 360-degree camera technology. It has been tested in New Zealand, where the mite is established, to prepare for installation at the Port of Melbourne.
