Our Zoom speaker on Monday 20 June 2022 is Chris Twist, CEO of ‘I have a Dream’. This is a charitable trust based on the ‘I have a Dream Foundation’, which started in the USA in 1981 and began here in 2003 with a group of 53 Mt Roskill school children. The pilot was successful, and the Foundation has been working with the Tikipuna and Otangarei communities in Whangarei. Their aim by 2025 is to be working with over 1000 kiwi children in these communities. The following Zoom link will be opened at 12.15pm for a 12.30pm start:

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.
