On Monday 15 August 2022, we will hear from Helen Hewitt, who is a Support Group Co-ordinator volunteer for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren NZ Trust. Having experienced the impact of drug and alcohol abuse and consequently family breakdown, Helen has empathy and understanding towards families with similar stories to tell. Through this, she sensed the feeling of responsibility that grandparents have, to ensure grandchildren have protection from harm from physical, mental health, drug or alcohol abuse. As usual, we will be meeting at the Stamford tomorrow at 12.15pm for a 12.30pm start. And as well as hearing from Helen, we will also be presenting our RCA Medical Scholarship award to the 2021 winner.
You are welcome

1 in 18 children die before their fifth birthday in Kiribati and three times more women die from cervical cancer in the Pacific than in Australia and every year. ‘Give Every Child A Future’ will work with UNICEF to introduce three life-saving vaccines across nine Pacific Island countries; the Cook Islands, Kiribati, Nauru, Niue, Samoa, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. The Asian Development Bank is financing the introduction of these vaccines into four of the countries (Vanuatu, Tonga, Samoa and Tuvalu), while Rotary will fund regional and other supporting activities in those four countries and fully fund the programme in the other five countries. Rotary and UNICEF are aiming to vaccinate 100,000 children over four years, but this is just the beginning. This project will help strengthen the Pacific’s broader health systems and ensure the sustainable delivery of these vaccines into the future. Generations will continue to benefit from this project. A truly inspiring Rotary legacy.
