One way we can help is by partnering with the Birthing Kit Foundation.
In May this year members of our club worked alongside staff and volunteers from St John of God Hospital to pack 200 birthing kits.
Kits contain gloves, soap, scalpel, string, a plastic sheet and gauze.
One of the ways we are creating lasting impact for women and babies around the world.
Each event has been well attended by an enthusiastic group of members and friends. A lot of hard work was rewarded with a great lunch provided by the hospital.
Old plants have been removed, new plants have been planted, the irrigation system has been fixed and so has the pond in the chapel area.
The Rotary Club of Berwick have been involved in sending playgrounds to Cape Town, South Africa and Siem Reap, Cambodia and Buka, Bougainville.
The process is:
-
We take photos of the playgrounds and digitally label each piece of the playground with a unique number and colour coded tape.
-
When the Council’s contractor is onsite, Rotary is notified and we arrive on the day and take the playground away.
-
The playground is stored short term until there are enough to fill a shipping container, usually 12-15 playgrounds.
-
The RORP co-ordinator arranges a date for volunteers to help load the container so it can be shipped overseas.
Please note, we do not pay our guest speakers or commit to donating or purchasing anything from a speaker.
