Major Recipients from our 2017/18 Fundraising Activities
"Next Big Thing"
The Club has identified that it can support a large project over multiple years. A committee was formed in 2016/17 to identify suitable projects and associated issues in supporting such a project. The "Next Big Thing" is the project name for this activity.
A suitable project is yet to be identified, however, sufficient progress has been made to indicate that this should be achieved in the Rotary year.
Stay tuned.

Wesley Operation Hope
Wesley Operation Hope began in 1992 as a brave initiative to give disadvantaged children a break from their everyday life and offer them a week of encouragement, support and care.
The sponsored, one week camp began with children who were already involved in Wesley Mission’s services, particularly those in foster care, and grew to encompass children who were referred via a range of community services.
Wesley Operation Hope camps are run in conjunction with Wesley Vision Valley, a recreation centre in Sydney’s north west. Wesley Operation Hope works with a group of young people aged 12–18 over a minimum of a 12 week period, using an adventure therapy model to foster change amongst these young people. The program is facilitated in different urban and wilderness environments as well as at Wesley Vision Valley utilising the adventure activities onsite. Each group entering the Wesley Operation Hope program consists of 15 young people, and works on personal goals as well as leadership development, self-awareness and self-actualisation.
Over the years Wesley Operation Hope has transformed the lives of hundreds of children who have flourished through the experience of spending a week away in a positive, supportive environment. The program has now evolved to work alongside these young people for an extended period of time to provide support and direction, allowing them to be more successful in their teenage and early adulthood years.

Rotary Foundation
The Rotary Foundation can be viewed as the Heart of Rotary.
The Rotary Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation that supports the efforts of Rotary International to achieve world understanding and peace through international humanitarian, educational, and cultural exchange programs. It is supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of The Rotary Foundation who share its vision of a better world.
The Rotary Foundation was created in 1917 by Rotary International's sixth President, Arch C. Klumph, as an endowment fund for Rotary "to do good in the world". It has grown from an initial contribution of US$26.50 to more than US$245 million contributed in 2007-08. Its event-filled history is a story of Rotarians learning the value of service to humanity.
The Rotary Foundation is dedicated to six areas of focus to build international relationships, improve lives, and create a better world to support our peace efforts and end polio forever.

Promoting peace
Rotary encourages conversations to foster understanding within and across cultures. We train adults and young leaders to prevent and mediate conflict and help refugees who have fled dangerous areas. |
Fighting disease
We educate and equip communities to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases like polio, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. We improve and expand access to low-cost and free health care in developing areas. |
Providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene
We support local solutions to bring clean water, sanitation, and hygiene to more people every day. We don’t just build wells and walk away. We share our expertise with community leaders and educators to make sure our projects succeed long-term. |
Saving mothers and children
Nearly 6 million children under the age of five die each year because of malnutrition, poor health care, and inadequate sanitation. We expand access to quality care, so mothers and their children can live and grow stronger. |
Supporting education
More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy. |
Growing local economies
We carry out service projects that enhance economic and community development and create opportunities for decent and productive work for young and old. We also strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities. |
Ending polio forever
Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for over 30 years, and our goal of ridding the earth of this disease is in sight. We started in 1979 with vaccinations for 6 million children in the Philippines. Today, Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan are the only countries where polio remains endemic.
