Creating new opportunities

Occupational Therapy students from the University of Sydney are doing great community service. Kate, Wiktoria and Sarah are promoting Project Ilypa and Operation Papua New Guinea through a new project called the Schools for Schools Challenge. The Schools for Schools Challenge aims to increase awareness of health and educational inequalities in rural Australia and Papua New Guinea. This project will engage students at all levels, primary, secondary and tertiary and will provide exposure and promotion of the work of Rotary. It is wonderful to see and hear these great young people who are contributing so much for the community.

Carmen Bekker: Assisting youth on the northern beaches

Carmen shared with us her passion of working with kids whom have experienced hardship, the breakdown of family relationships and the supports that underpin their health, education, happiness and wellbeing.

The valuable services offered by Taldumande on the Northern Beaches focuses on providing stable short and longer term support and accommodation options, encouraging young people to remain within their local communities and achieve longer lasting successful outcomes for their personal goals.

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.
