Rotarians in Action

Over the past few weeks, the Rotary Club of Whyalla members have been very busy in the community. We have had the Mobile Catering Unit out selling hotdogs, chips and gravy, and at last our wonderful donuts. We were seen at the Football grand final, the Whyalla Show and just last weekend the HOG Rally at the Foreshore. Once again we have donated the Packages of Hope to the Mental Health unit at the Whyalla Hospital. Pictured below is Rotarian Michele Sellars with Ouen from the Mental Health Unit. At last, our recipient of the Glen Eden Excellence in Mental Health prize has received her prize and certificate. Pictured below is Charlotte Roberts with her certificate.
Then last week we had the pleasure of being guests at the launch of the Country Arts season 2024 - 2025 at the Middleback Theatre. All members enjoyed the wonderful performance of Yuldea by the Bangarra Dance Theatre.

September is Basic Education and Literacy Month

September is Basic Education and Literacy Month for Rotary.

This is one of Rotary’s seven areas of focus. We all know how critical reading and writing are for success in life – for gaining information, communicating, making agreements, and so forth.

Enhancing Basic Education skills and Literacy are essential in reducing poverty, improving health, encouraging community and economic development, and promoting peace. Improvements can reduce maternal death, improve childhood survivability, and reduce poverty. They can also enable success in business or a profession.

Projects undertaken by a Rotary Club can address low adult literacy, returning youth to school, enhancing student performance, or supplementing limited school resources. Listed below are examples of a number of projects in which clubs can be engaged in.

Consider how your club is, or could showcase "THE MAGIC OF ROTARY by supporting basic education and literacy in your community or somewhere else in the world.

Maternal and Child Health Month

Rotary makes high-quality health care available
to vulnerable mothers and children so they can live longer and grow stronger.

We expand access to quality care, so mothers and children everywhere can have the same opportunities for a healthy future. An estimated 5.9 million children under the age of five die each year because of malnutrition, inadequate health care, and poor sanitation — all of which can be prevented.

How Rotary makes help happen

Rotary provides education, immunizations, birth kits, and mobile health clinics. Women are taught how to prevent mother-to-infant HIV transmission, how to breast-feed, and how to protect themselves and their children from disease.
