Rotary Peace Scholarships are offered annually through 8 leading Universities around the world.
These scholarships have the prime purpose of developing an international network of peace builders who are highly skilled and dedicated to preventing and resolving conflicts.
Alexandra Rose came to the attention of our Rotary District through then President of RC of Adelaide, Heidi Unferdorben. Alex is already a highly credentialled Graduate of the University of Queensland, experienced working in a number of different cultures, and fluent in several languages. We are now very pleased to announce that Alexandra Rose, has been offered a fully funded Master’s Degree Course at Duke University, North Carolina USA. These Peace Scholarships are always very highly sought by students from around the world, so Alexandra’s achievement is very special for our D9510.
In due course of time, Alex will join an International network of people, working through a diversity of organisations,
· to reduce the intensity of existing conflicts,
· to assist those caught up in conflicts
· and contribute to the education of people to avoid causing conflict situations.
Congratulations Alex, we wish you well in your endeavours to help others.

Meeting Report 3454
NO BARRIERS EDUCATION FOUNDATION was formed in 2020 to assist children and youth in rural Zimbabwe to overcome barriers to education, encourage their learning and create opportunities for them to thrive. Sigrid Pfaffle the Executive Director and International Director of the Rotary Club of Norwood spoke about their progress at our diner meeting last night. The foundation is working with two schools Muzarabani HS and Hwata Secondary School in the north in one of the poorest provinces just close to the Mozambican boarder. The Foundation assists by Overcoming barriers, encouraging learning, creating opportunities to thrive and developing school infrastructure. The Rotary Club of Norwood works with the Rotary Club of Harare to implement the programs. Projects include assisting schools to provide meals at the start of the day, school fee subsidies for vulnerable students, menstruation assistance for girls through sanitary hygine kits & workshops, hygiene kits for boys, bicycles for transport to and from school. Also textbooks, solar systems to power WFi and printers, creating skills for job opportunities, access to clean water and toilets, functioning classrooms. So much has been done already as part of this program.
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
FIRST: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
SECOND: High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
FOURTH: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
End Polio Now
In 1985 Rotary launched PolioPlus to immunize every child in the world against polio. Working with our partners and members of the global health community, together we will end polio.
Through the science of vaccines, Rotary & partners have saved nearly 19 million children from becoming paralyzed by polio. Learn more about our work to End Polio Now and how you can get involved: https://on.rotary.org/3eqtrrr
Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years, and we’ve made incredible progress in the fight to rid the world of it forever.
It’s crucial to eradicate polio from the last two countries where it remains endemic and to keep other countries polio-free.
If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.
What is polio?
Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a paralyzing and potentially deadly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of 5. The virus spreads from person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can then attack the nervous system.
