![]() | Rotary Area of Focus February: Promoting Peace |
In the world today, over 70 million people are displaced as a result of conflict, violence, persecution and human rights violations. Half of them are children.
As a humanitarian organisation, peace is a cornerstone of Rotary’s mission. Rotary believes that when people work to create peace in their communities, that change can have a global effect.
Rotary encourages conversations to foster understanding within and across cultures. By carrying out service projects and supporting peace fellowships and scholarships, Rotarians take action to address the underlying causes of conflict, including poverty, discrimination, ethnic tension, lack of access to education, and unequal distribution of resources.
Rotary projects deliver training that fosters understanding and provides communities with the skills to resolve conflicts, trains adults and young leaders to prevent and mediate conflict, and helps refugees who have fled dangerous areas.
- Practitioners: Rotary’s work in fighting disease, providing clean water and sanitation, improving the health of mothers and children, supporting education, and growing local economies directly builds the optimal conditions for peaceful societies.
- Educators: Rotary Peace Centres have trained over 1,300 peace fellows to become effective catalysts for peace through careers in government, education, and international organizations.
- Mediators: Rotary members have negotiated humanitarian ceasefires in areas of conflict to allow polio vaccinators to reach children who are at risk.
- Advocates: Rotarians have an integral role as respected, impartial participants during peace processes and in post-conflict reconstruction. Rotary’s focus is on creating communities and convening groups that are connected, inclusive, and resilient.
The Rotary Club of Moe wish to express appreciation to the Latrobe City Council who recently offered Minor Equipment Grants to community groups to purchase fixed equipment. Our club was successful in receiving a $2000 Minor Equipment Grant to purchase a portable defibrillator. Without the assistance of the Latrobe City Council offering these grants, many community groups would not have sufficient funding available to purchase items that assists them to continue working safely within the community. Rotarian Barry Dunstan is pictured with our new portable defibrillator which will be available for use by Club Members and members of the public when Rotary is working in the community. | ![]() |
Our club would normally invite the students, parents and school staff to attend an evening function, to celebrate and publicly acknowledge the achievements of the local school students. However, this year due to COVID restrictions, we are working individually with each school to ensure the students are presented with their award either at their graduation or awards ceremony at their individual schools. Pictured below are several of the students with their award. |
