Pete's Peregrinations at The Multi District Conference

#28

Back home, trying to compress 2.5 days into a few paragraphs.

Should I take Past Rotary International President, Ian Riseley's suggestion, and use only 2 words to describe each speaker. At some point it becomes nonsensical, and repetitive. So here are my highlights, and more will appear over the next few weeks.

Friday was a full day with the over all standard extremely high at the Rotary Peace Conference.

YIR, Bottle tree, Pete.

Bunatan No 3 School

International Chair Committee Len reported back to the Club, on behalf of the annual Bali trip members, of the state of our adopted project school near Ahmed in Bali. The recent earthquake by volcano Mount Agung had damaged many of the locally made roof tiles such that any rain, which is highly likely as it is the monsoon season, will surely just make matters worse by inundating the left over classrooms and cause more ceiling plaster collapsing.

Discussions with the Principal showed varying levels of disturbance to the building. Currently, most of the schooling is done in make shift tents in the courtyard as the integrity of the ceiling, tiles and roof structure is deemed unsafe. Local government has sufficient funds to only carry out urgent maintenance repairs to make safe but not totally render habitable classroom space. In liaising with our local CLub builder, an estimate of AUD5700 has been put forward to make good the roof tiling, ahead of official repairs by the government. The International Committee will discuss ways to revenue raise this fund so as to afford immediate assistance to the school.

The flush mechanism in the boys toilets was also replaced, as it was ripped off its location.

At the end of the day, all the teachers, parents and kids want is somewhere decent to be taught reading and writing, and they do so knowing that the regular and annual visit by the proud Rotarians of Moe are doing their little bit by helping by bring a smile to their faces.

NOVEMBER RF 4

Posted by Rog Taylor

November is Rotary Foundation Month.

During this month, each bulletin edition will have an article about how your Rotary Foundation (RF) money is spent to assist with humanitarian projects world-wide. It’s important to note that 91% 0f funds contributed to RF are spent directly on projects.

Supporting Education: More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. That’s 17% of the world’s adult population. Rotary helps to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, and to reduce gender disparity. We do it by taking action to empower educators to inspire learning at all ages, through…

teacher training
adult literacy programs
educating refugees
coaching teachers
mentoring students
schools 4 freedom (action group against slavery)

“When you teach somebody how to read, they have that for a lifetime. It ripples through the community one by one

(This was the last in this series from Rog Taylor, on the Rotary Foundation)

Zen'isms

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead.

Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow.

Do not walk beside me, for the path is narrow.

In fact, just p*** off and leave me alone

Sex is like air; its not important unless you aren't getting any

No one is listening , until you pass wind

Always remember, you are unique.... just like everyone else

Never test the depth of water with both feet

If you think nobody cares whether you are dead or alive, try missing a couple of mortgage payments
