A scrumptious meal

On Wednesday night the 20th of August we had a scrumptious menu of edible delights provided by Ian & Heather Yarker. We also heard from a number of RYPEN nominees from local Secondary Schools. A mum of one of the nominees then spoke glowingly about the support provided by our club to a previous nominee and how it eventually led to the nominee's nomination to the London Science Forum and networking with past winners of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Our new YEP student
Our new YEP student is Yelizabeta Navrotsky (Elize) from the Ukraine who is studying at Kyiv Gymnasium No 117. Elize has an interest in Literature and likes meeting new and different people.
Elize likes to paint and finds this very therapeutic and to get away from the problems associated with the full-scale invasion of her country by Russia in February 2022.
Elize is looking forward to practicing another language and immersing herself in Aussie culture and hopes to become a doctor after planning to go to University.
Elize comes from a family of 5, Mum and Dad and a younger brother and sister. Ashmore and Coomera River Rotary clubs are hosting and sponsoring Elize for 6 months each.

Update to Cambodian Project
NEW SKILLS – THANKS ROTARY
Six villagers from Tapour Village (Cambodia) have been trained to build Washroom Toilets.
Tapour is the village where we will soon start building Washroom Toilets and as part of our implementation plan, we needed to train six villagers in the correct construction methodology.
 The villages travel to Siem Reap where they were accommodated during training. They travelled daily to their project sister village of Kok Beng for the training. Training was delivered by the Kok Beng team under the guidance of Darrel Steer (fellow Rotarian “Dunny Darrel”).
As well as training the team was fitted out with safety gear.
The training was funded by one of our Rotary partners – Rotary Club of Upper Northern Beaches (Sydney).
