Meeting Report 3336

 
Housing Victims of Domestic Violence and Crisis Accommodation was the Rotary Club of Murray Bridge project for discussion at Tuesdays Dinner Meeting with Val Braendler from DAVINA. This stands for Domestic Violence is Never Acceptable. Rotary has been supporting this project with Care Bags for about 4 years. Val is concerned that there is not enough accommodation available in Murray Bridge and is asking for support from the private housing sector with an overarching system of regulation. The accommodation provides time for the family to stabilize and deal with the issues.They also need to be close to their support networks.
  
 

Murray River Study Hub

 
Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Murray Bridge had a vocational visit to the new Murray River Study Hub on Tuesday afternoon at 4pm in Murray Bridge at the TAFE site.This has been in the making for about 15 years and is finally coming to fruition where students can enrol in University Courses and work on line. The operation depends on the number of students enrolled for each subject as to how it can be delivered.Students can work individually or in groups dependant on enrollments. Rural City of MB CEO Michael Sedgmen outlined the planning and process so far, Anna Horsmann and Program Manager Vanessa Leigh outlined some of the detail of the courses and infrastructure available. Rotary has been supportive throughout the process. The project provides opportunity for White and Blue collar jobs in our community for Engineers, Business managers, Accountants, and trades people in the anticpated expansion of the Muraylands and Riverland in for example gov depts,local gov, Thomas Foods, Big River Pork, the Mushroom Farm etc. Shaun Harris from the RDA Murraylands and Riverland is on hand to support and help students through the process. Rotarians Jenny Phillips,Rob Walters, John Scarvelis, Peter Seals, Darryl Webb, Jan Cowell, Jenny Alexander Walters, Sam Cozens participated and there was a healthy discussion.

Rotarians in Cambodia

 
Relaxing this week-end after busy 10 days of teaching English and visiting Rotary projects in Cambodia. Beautiful Thank You ceremony at the school and the school supplies we donated. Elderly music teacher overwhelmed with new drumsticks and speaker. Amazing markets and food. Sunrise over Angkor Wat this morning. Temples are so beautiful and peaceful ...until the bus loads of tourists arrive.
 
   
 
We visited a poor area around Kork Chork Pagoda today. Very thankful to Chheang Sopheak along with the village ‘chief’ who is a wise and respected woman, for their advice on which families would most benefit from having a Water well or Sand filter. We met a family that had recently lost a child in a road accident on her way to school. Another where the mother has been burnt severely with boiling water thrown by her husband. Heartbreaking stories.
