Shining Stars

Little Georgina and Chloe Wood of Beacon Hill emptied their piggy banks and set off to Warringah Mall to find a charity to donate to for Christmas. Their christmas present to the less fortunate. They found the Rotary Christmas Raffle and asked if they could give this money for the poor. They gave $12.75.

How fantastic is that?

Thank you so much Georgina and Chloe. * You are our shining stars *

Thanks to the ongoing commitment and generosity of our community the Rotary club of Dee Why Warringah continues to achieve great things in communities at home and abroad. We thank you all for your support!

Project Ilypa

Erin Lowie and Nami McShane gave us an update on their progress of Project Ilypa. Project Ilypa aims to improve health outcomes for Indigenous children.

The Ilypa team have established a 2 stage project with the first stage to be complete by the end of 2008. Stage one will ensure that sound systems will be available in classrooms in indigenous communities in the Northern Territory. This will assist children who experience hearing loss due to Otitis Media to engage and learn more effectively in the classroom. .

The project Ilypa team will continue to establish corporate and community support to ensure funds are raised for the supply of sounds systems.
