Acknowledgement of Country

In the spirit of reconciliation, the Rotary E-Club of Brindabella acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We respect Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Check out some of the projects that the Rotary E-Club of Brindabella have been undertaking!

Dili Learning Centre Timor Leste

Dili recently suffered from disastrous floods, causing both death and destruction to residents in Dili and surrounding areas. A number of the Learning Centres staff lost family members.

One result of the floods was that many University students were cut off from families who were supplying them money to live. The Centre identified 192 students that required support. The Rotary E-club of Brindabella has been successful in obtaining a District Grant supporting the club donation making a total of $A6,300 to assist in purchasing sacks of rice, Fresh green produce from local farmers, Cooking Oil, Noodles, fresh eggs and clean water.

The students had to provide their National ID card to prove they were from a District, and then present their University card to prove they were based in Dili to study.

The assistance provided falls into both Disease Prevention and Economic and Community Development of Rotary’s Seven Avenues of Focus.

Rotary Branded Facemasks

The Rotary E-Club of Brindabella has received another production run of District 9705 branded face masks.

The masks are Rotary International Licensed they are correctly branded and approved

The upsurge of the Delta variant and mandatory mask requirements show the world that Rotary promotes Covid-19 safety by wearing a Rotary branded mask when out and about or on Rotary business.

End Trachoma: Hygiene Bags for Northern Territory Schools

Members of the E-Club of Brindabella have put together hygiene bags for two small schools in the Northern Territory.

The first school is Newcastle Waters. This school is located 788 km north of Alice Springs and 714 km south of Darwin in the Barkley region.

The Newcastle Waters school draws most of its few students from the Marlinja homeland community, which lies on the town's northern boundary.

The photo shows the class displaying the bags sent from the Club - each also having a letter in it from one of the pupils from Moss Vale Public School.

We have also supported the Bulla Camp School, about 350km southwest of Katherine.

DreamCricket

A significant project for our club is DreamCricket, which the Movement Disorder Foundation initiated in concert with the Rotary Clubs of the Southern Highlands and the Bradman Foundation.

The aim is to allow primary school students with a disability to play on the Bradman Oval and visit the Bradman International Cricket Hall of Fame.

Learning Centre for Youth in Dili,Timor Leste

The Centre was established in 2016 by Libby Bleakley (a Rotarian from The Rotary Club of Blackheath), who had been deployed for three years to Timor-Leste with the Australian Federal Police.

Libby's vision was to establish a facility for the Timorese youth and community that will develop skills, character, and leadership through educational workshops, crime prevention workshops, language courses, and fitness training to build strong social foundations and prevent crime.

About Us

Our club members discuss their community and service projects via online video chat meetings and frequent face-to-face chats at regular social gatherings.

The online nature of our club's operations provides an opportunity for members to engage in projects at a local, regional and global level, with guest speakers, projects and members collaborating across the world.

Our e-club is meant for individuals who have a passion for both friendship and community service. They are highly motivated to do good in the world but have no time to attend regular meetings.

Our club welcomes anyone with a passion and interest in changing the world for the better.
