At our meeting on the 17 April David Hatcher introduces Russell Marnok PP of the Rotary Club of Emerald and District, the District Champion for Trachoma who spoke to us on the End Trachoma by 2020 program and the trip he did to Alice Springs with a number of other District Champions and directors of EndTrachoma.

Australia is the only developed country with incidences of trachoma, all in the remote dry areas of Australia. To stop trachoma transmission and to stop trachoma bouncing back, environmental improvements are urgently required. We must make sure all children in these communities can keep their faces clean, and that they have safe, functional washing facilities.

 

 

 

 

Model United Nation Assembly (MUNA) is being held on the weekend of May 4^th and 5^th at Parliament House.

It is a fabulous program and the debate between the students representing countries whose ideologies are very different to ours is fascinating.  I would recommend that you attend all or part of the days.

There is a competition for the best costumes, and the best team who then goes on to a MUNA in Canberra.

Easy to catch the train to Parliament Station and cross the road!

RC Nunawading is sponsoring Blackburn High School who has India as their country and Kingswood College who is representing Yemen.

Attached please find a flyer with all the required information. Please circulate this to the members of your club. We hope to see as many people as possible attend this interesting event and support a very worthy cause
