We have seen the 5th Avenue of Service known previously as New Generations be renamed by Rotaryrsquos Council of Legislation to Youth Service earlier this year To me this brings a special focus for Clubs on the enriching programs of Youth Service that are the hallmark programs of RotaryYouth Exchange Rotary Youth Leadership Awards and Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment are three stand out programs along with Model United Nations Assembly National Youth Science Awards and several others aimed at the personal development of our future generations Our Rotary and Community Leaders of tomorrow require our support and guidance whilst they themselves grow and developRotaryrsquos investment today will ensure community service and a focus on helping others continues as a legacy to our children and their children for generations to come Australian Rotary Clubs have supported Youth Exchange for many years and particularly in District 9800 This outstanding program faces challenges going forward and requires innovative thinking to maintain itrsquos rightful status as one of Rotaryrsquos finest programsAs Clubs age a reluctance to accept inbound students can reduce opportunities to host students from overseas and yet we know when Clubs do host they are enriched by the culture of the students the energy of the students and
the rewards that come when you change someonersquos life We can continue such service in many ways and strategic partnerships are just one of these ways With School students still keen to participate and with communities still wishing to send their young people overseas to grow with the experience that living in another culture brings Rotary needs to continue our Youth Exchange Programs to support families wishing to add to their childrenrsquos life experiences as it is these experiences that benefit our communities in the endRotary has many networks with which to form strategic partnerships that ensure this valuable program remains a pre-eminent program of Rotary we donrsquot necessarily need to rely on our previous resources of Rotarian families for hosting The communities around our Clubs offer opportunities that they can tap into for hosting including the Youth Exchange Alumni ndash families of returned students families of students on exchange and other like-minded community groups such as Girl Guides and Boy Scout GroupsDo you have other options for hosting you have seen successfully operating elsewhere and would like to share Please drop me a line at dgrotarydistrict9800org and add to the opportunities we present to our future leadersBest wishes to you all as you go forward and become engaged in Rotary Service - keep turning Conversations into Actions

One of the USArsquos best medical museums is in Chicago The International Museum of Surgical Science With some logistical difficulty I got there from my lodgings on the opposite side of this mighty city and enjoyed the ambience The elegant lakeside mansion housing the museum was built in 1917 to mimic Le Petit Trianon of Versailles for a family whose fortunes were derived from matches - the sort that come in boxes
Among the exceptional artifacts are an Austrian amputation saw with reversible blade (c 1500) original X-rays taken by radiology pioneer Emil Grubbeacute (c 1910) the Lindbergh perfusion pump which enabled doctors to keep organs functioning outside the body invented by the renowned aviator Charles Lindbergh and Nobel Prize-winning surgeon Alexis Carrel (1935) and a unique collection of heart valves donated by Dr Juro Wada (c 1960-80)The art on the walls is also brilliant - some of it requires the observer to have strong nerves Checkout these samplesAfter wandering around having a good time I came to the exhibition in the foyer a
splendid account of Rotaryrsquos international fight and success against polioAlongside it was an actual ldquoiron lungrdquo used to help victims and ghastly shots of the deformities that polio could create in the human skeletonIt made me feel proud to be part of the Rotary International body that has done such good work on the polio front Plus I was impressed that Rotary in Chicago has done such a good job on the public

Melbourne eye surgeon and Glenferrie Rotarian Mark Ellis swaps his Hawthorn Eye Clinic for East Timor and the nearby Indonesian Island of Sumba biannually but his penchant for travelling isnrsquot to see the sights
With both countries lacking eye specialists despite suffering from a high incidence of avoidable eye diseases Dr Ellis is heading up pro-bono programs aimed at restoring eye care to locals
ldquoThe conditions are very hot and there are occasional electricity blackouts But therersquos literally no one on the
island of Sumba who does eye carerdquo Dr Ellis said
ldquoThe people are so appreciative They canrsquot see at all but now suddenly can lead a productive liferdquo
Kew resident Patrick Gorman has nominated Dr Ellis for the Care and Compassion Medal in this yearrsquos Pride of Australia Awards
ldquoIrsquom sure there are people much more worthy than me but it is wonderful for the needs of these people to be recognisedrdquo Dr Ellis said
Pride of Australia recognises Victoriarsquos unsung heroes - those people who go above and beyond to help others

CLUSTER PROJECTI thought everyone would like to know of a project we have recently completed
The Presidents in the Bayside Cluster (Caulfield Brighton Brighton Beach Brighton North and Glen Eira) have agreed that their Clubs will support a Primary School student resident of Elsternwick with the purchase of two modified bicycles - as a cluster project
The student has the rare genetic disorder Charco-Marie Tooth Disease which has caused a loss of muscle function in a lower leg including the ankle and foot
The student wears ankle and foot orthotics and needs two modified bikes as a standard bike is too difficult for the student especially on a slope One bike is used at school to keep up with classmates on quite long regular walks to the park The other is for use at home
This Cluster Project was initiated by Rotary Club of Caulfield Past President John Lord and current President Faye Kirkwood ldquoA very worthwhile project for all the clubs involved ldquo
The photos show the two bikes that have been modified for the studentrsquos use with Rotary Club of Glen Eira President Alan Samuel
Faye Kirkwood President 2013 - 2014 Rotary Club of Caulfield

Another international effort by the Rotary Clubs from District 9800 in RC Melbourne RC Brighton Beach and RC Brighton North
Clean sustainable water for 4000 families in Lubang Bringing clean water to a community is always a significant event When that change is brought about using clean renewable energy even better This is what happened in a recent project in the Pulili Lubang and Cabra Islands in the Mindoro region of the Philippines (District 9800) The communities are located in the Pacificrsquos fragile ldquoCoral Sea of Trianglesrdquo noted for the huge number of corals and arid land
Water shortage is a fact of life here especially in the summer when many of the usual water sources dry up Even during the wet season many residents spend a significant portion of their day collecting water for drinking cooking croplivestock propagation and other domestic purposes
Arnolfo ldquoArnordquo Sigman is typical He and his son walk upwards of 2 km daily to collect water and carry it back to their homes In other households women often spend up to three hours every day trudging back and forth to get water
Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) Chair for Water and Sanitation (Ruth Carlos-Martinez) joined forces with the RCs of Melbourne and Lubang and consulted with SIBAT a firm of renewable energy engineers They assessed the terrain and came up with a distribution system driven by solar power and wind turbines to provide water access for 23 housing clusters on both islands
Major project activities included design and installation of the power source development of a deep dug well and installtion of a complete water distribution and storage system including a submersible pump water tower tanks tranmission and distribution pipelines robust tap stand collection areas and bio sand water filtration systems to ensure the water is safe to drink
A critical factor in the project was sustainability A community group was formed by SIBAT to ensure adequate training for all factors including a disaster and tsunami watch Minimal tariffs are collected for the water to ensure funds are available to pay the PO (Peoplersquos Organization) and funds are set aside for future maintenance
With a total cost of $57000 the project was completed in January 2013 Cluster tap stands now provide clean water across the villages of Lubang and Cabra Islands greatly reducing the time Arno and the villagers spend collecting water
In a subsequent visit to Lubang by the RC of Melbourne with Ruth Carlos-Martinez the community expressed it most sincere appreciation to the Rotary Foundation the RCs of Melbourne Brighton Beach Brighton North and Lubang as well as the local government for providing them with safe clean water

Perched in the rugged mountains of central Ecuador the village of Tingo Pucaraacute seems an unlikely place for artistic inspiration to strike But Tony Riggio never leaves his camera behindmdashand his photos of Tingo Pucaraacute illustrate what can happen when Rotary members and young
people team up on a water projectRiggio has been leading youth expeditions to Central and South America since 2001 when his daughter participated in a program of Builders Beyond Borders (B3) a nonprofit based in Connecticut USA Construction projects have included hurricane shelters in the Dominican Republic bridges in Nicaragua and classrooms in Costa Rica Water and sanitation are always primary componentsldquoPeople donrsquot believe what you tell them sometimesmdashthat things are how they are in parts of Central and South Americardquo says Riggio a member of the Rotary Club of Westport ldquoWater is such a precious commodityrdquoIn April 2011 Riggio traveled to Tingo Pucaraacutemdashone of five B3 project sites across Ecuador that seasonmdashto build pipelines in a joint effort with the Peace Corps and Engineers Without Borders The village stands at an altitude of 12600 feet with
the nearest spring about 4900 feet down a steep pathHistorically faced with a lack of potable water and arable land the men of Tingo Pucaraacute have headed to the lowlands to find work leaving the women to transport water for cooking washing and drinking Before the project was completed the 26 village families had as little as 15 minutes of running water per month sent from a neighboring area when availableThe engineers designed a pumping system to draw water from the spring-fed stream and the B3 team made up of high school students and adult advisers worked with locals to install the pipes which now bring running water to homesldquoFor our kids that project was not very rewardingndashuntil the last day when we got to turn the water onrdquo says Amy Schroeder-Riggio executive director of Builders Beyond Borders and Riggiorsquos wife ldquoWhen yoursquore doing a water project you are laying the pipe yoursquore covering it over and
it doesnrsquot even look like you were there But when they turn the water on and everybodyrsquos crying itrsquos an incredible momentrdquoCollaborating with the worldwide networks of the Peace Corps and Rotary boosts credibility and facilitates relationships Schroeder-Riggio says In 2008 B3 built a school for hearing-impaired students in San Marcos Guatemala with help from a local Rotary club This year B3 teams will partner with the Rotary Club of Georgetown Guyana on five construction projects including community centers and a sand bridge that will connect coastal islands to medical facilitiesldquoThese organizations make the world go rsquoroundrdquo Schroeder-Riggio says ldquoThe heart of it is our kids Itrsquos about building character their relationship with these leadership programs It lines up nicely with Rotaryrdquo

Melbourne eye surgeon and Glenferrie Rotarian Mark Ellis swaps his Hawthorn Eye Clinic for East Timor and the nearby Indonesian Island of Sumba biannually but his penchant for travelling isnrsquot to see the sights
With both countries lacking eye specialists despite suffering from a high incidence of avoidable eye diseases Dr Ellis is heading up pro-bono programs aimed at restoring eye care to locals
ldquoThe conditions are very hot and there are occasional electricity blackouts But therersquos literally no one on the
island of Sumba who does eye carerdquo Dr Ellis said
ldquoThe people are so appreciative They canrsquot see at all but now suddenly can lead a productive liferdquo
Kew resident Patrick Gorman has nominated Dr Ellis for the Care and Compassion Medal in this yearrsquos Pride of Australia Awards
ldquoIrsquom sure there are people much more worthy than me but it is wonderful for the needs of these people to be recognisedrdquo Dr Ellis said
Pride of Australia recognises Victoriarsquos unsung heroes - those people who go above and beyond to help others

CLUSTER PROJECTI thought everyone would like to know of a project we have recently completed
The Presidents in the Bayside Cluster (Caulfield Brighton Brighton Beach Brighton North and Glen Eira) have agreed that their Clubs will support a Primary School student resident of Elsternwick with the purchase of two modified bicycles - as a cluster project
The student has the rare genetic disorder Charco-Marie Tooth Disease which has caused a loss of muscle function in a lower leg including the ankle and foot
The student wears ankle and foot orthotics and needs two modified bikes as a standard bike is too difficult for the student especially on a slope One bike is used at school to keep up with classmates on quite long regular walks to the park The other is for use at home
This Cluster Project was initiated by Rotary Club of Caulfield Past President John Lord and current President Faye Kirkwood ldquoA very worthwhile project for all the clubs involved ldquo
The photos show the two bikes that have been modified for the studentrsquos use with Rotary Club of Glen Eira President Alan Samuel

Another international effort by the Rotary Clubs from District 9800 in RC Melbourne RC Brighton Beach and RC Brighton North
Clean sustainable water for 4000 families in Lubang Bringing clean water to a community is always a significant event When that change is brought about using clean renewable energy even better This is what happened in a recent project in the Pulili Lubang and Cabra Islands in the Mindoro region of the Philippines (District 9800) The communities are located in the Pacificrsquos fragile ldquoCoral Sea of Trianglesrdquo noted for the huge number of corals and arid land
Water shortage is a fact of life here especially in the summer when many of the usual water sources dry up Even during the wet season many residents spend a significant portion of their day collecting water for drinking cooking croplivestock propagation and other domestic purposes
Arnolfo ldquoArnordquo Sigman is typical He and his son walk upwards of 2 km daily to collect water and carry it back to their homes In other households women often spend up to three hours every day trudging back and forth to get water
Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) Chair for Water and Sanitation (Ruth Carlos-Martinez) joined forces with the RCs of Melbourne and Lubang and consulted with SIBAT a firm of renewable energy engineers They assessed the terrain and came up with a distribution system driven by solar power and wind turbines to provide water access for 23 housing clusters on both islands
Major project activities included design and installation of the power source development of a deep dug well and installtion of a complete water distribution and storage system including a submersible pump water tower tanks tranmission and distribution pipelines robust tap stand collection areas and bio sand water filtration systems to ensure the water is safe to drink
A critical factor in the project was sustainability A community group was formed by SIBAT to ensure adequate training for all factors including a disaster and tsunami watch Minimal tariffs are collected for the water to ensure funds are available to pay the PO (Peoplersquos Organization) and funds are set aside for future maintenance
With a total cost of $57000 the project was completed in January 2013 Cluster tap stands now provide clean water across the villages of Lubang and Cabra Islands greatly reducing the time Arno and the villagers spend collecting water
In a subsequent visit to Lubang by the RC of Melbourne with Ruth Carlos-Martinez the community expressed it most sincere appreciation to the Rotary Foundation the RCs of Melbourne Brighton Beach Brighton North and Lubang as well as the local government for providing them with safe clean water

Perched in the rugged mountains of central Ecuador the village of Tingo Pucaraacute seems an unlikely place for artistic inspiration to strike But Tony Riggio never leaves his camera behindmdashand his photos of Tingo Pucaraacute illustrate what can happen when Rotary members and young
people team up on a water projectRiggio has been leading youth expeditions to Central and South America since 2001 when his daughter participated in a program of Builders Beyond Borders (B3) a nonprofit based in Connecticut USA Construction projects have included hurricane shelters in the Dominican Republic bridges in Nicaragua and classrooms in Costa Rica Water and sanitation are always primary componentsldquoPeople donrsquot believe what you tell them sometimesmdashthat things are how they are in parts of Central and South Americardquo says Riggio a member of the Rotary Club of Westport ldquoWater is such a precious commodityrdquoIn April 2011 Riggio traveled to Tingo Pucaraacutemdashone of five B3 project sites across Ecuador that seasonmdashto build pipelines in a joint effort with the Peace Corps and Engineers Without Borders The village stands at an altitude of 12600 feet with
the nearest spring about 4900 feet down a steep pathHistorically faced with a lack of potable water and arable land the men of Tingo Pucaraacute have headed to the lowlands to find work leaving the women to transport water for cooking washing and drinking Before the project was completed the 26 village families had as little as 15 minutes of running water per month sent from a neighboring area when availableThe engineers designed a pumping system to draw water from the spring-fed stream and the B3 team made up of high school students and adult advisers worked with locals to install the pipes which now bring running water to homesldquoFor our kids that project was not very rewardingndashuntil the last day when we got to turn the water onrdquo says Amy Schroeder-Riggio executive director of Builders Beyond Borders and Riggiorsquos wife ldquoWhen yoursquore doing a water project you are laying the pipe yoursquore covering it over and
it doesnrsquot even look like you were there But when they turn the water on and everybodyrsquos crying itrsquos an incredible momentrdquoCollaborating with the worldwide networks of the Peace Corps and Rotary boosts credibility and facilitates relationships Schroeder-Riggio says In 2008 B3 built a school for hearing-impaired students in San Marcos Guatemala with help from a local Rotary club This year B3 teams will partner with the Rotary Club of Georgetown Guyana on five construction projects including community centers and a sand bridge that will connect coastal islands to medical facilitiesldquoThese organizations make the world go rsquoroundrdquo Schroeder-Riggio says ldquoThe heart of it is our kids Itrsquos about building character their relationship with these leadership programs It lines up nicely with Rotaryrdquo

Another international effort by the Rotary Clubs from District 9800 in RC Melbourne RC Brighton Beach and RC Brighton North
Clean sustainable water for 4000 families in Lubang Bringing clean water to a community is always a significant event When that change is brought about using clean renewable energy even better This is what happened in a recent project in the Pulili Lubang and Cabra Islands in the Mindoro region of the Philippines (District 9800) The communities are located in the Pacificrsquos fragile ldquoCoral Sea of Trianglesrdquo noted for the huge number of corals and arid land
Water shortage is a fact of life here especially in the summer when many of the usual water sources dry up Even during the wet season many residents spend a significant portion of their day collecting water for drinking cooking croplivestock propagation and other domestic purposes
Arnolfo ldquoArnordquo Sigman is typical He and his son walk upwards of 2 km daily to collect water and carry it back to their homes In other households women often spend up to three hours every day trudging back and forth to get water
Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) Chair for Water and Sanitation (Ruth Carlos-Martinez) joined forces with the RCs of Melbourne and Lubang and consulted with SIBAT a firm of renewable energy engineers They assessed the terrain and came up with a distribution system driven by solar power and wind turbines to provide water access for 23 housing clusters on both islands
Major project activities included design and installation of the power source development of a deep dug well and installtion of a complete water distribution and storage system including a submersible pump water tower tanks tranmission and distribution pipelines robust tap stand collection areas and bio sand water filtration systems to ensure the water is safe to drink
A critical factor in the project was sustainability A community group was formed by SIBAT to ensure adequate training for all factors including a disaster and tsunami watch Minimal tariffs are collected for the water to ensure funds are available to pay the PO (Peoplersquos Organization) and funds are set aside for future maintenance
With a total cost of $57000 the project was completed in January 2013 Cluster tap stands now provide clean water across the villages of Lubang and Cabra Islands greatly reducing the time Arno and the villagers spend collecting water
In a subsequent visit to Lubang by the RC of Melbourne with Ruth Carlos-Martinez the community expressed it most sincere appreciation to the Rotary Foundation the RCs of Melbourne Brighton Beach Brighton North and Lubang as well as the local government for providing them with safe clean water
