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.

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.
