MeetingLast week, PP Stuart Frith gave us a very interesting insight into his “second life” in the Royal Australian Naval Reserve (RANR).

The Royal Australian Naval Reserve is the volunteer reserve force of the Royal Australian Navy.

The current Royal Australian Naval Reserve was formed in June 1973 by merging the former RANR (Seagoing) and the Royal Australian Naval Volunteer Reserve.

Stuart’s time in the RANR spans a 40 year period, leading to being in command of a patrol boat. He told several fascinating stories about various trips he has done.

Stuart also told us of his passion for navigation and brought along a sextant for us to look at.

Another very interesting presentation by one of our own members.

PDG Greg Muldoon


President’s ReportLast week we were joined at our meeting by Elaine O’Brien from the Rotary club of Dunbar in Scotland. She is a Past President of her club and current Assistant Governor for her District and told the meeting that her club had fallen away to only 11 members but, with a focus on recruitment are now back to 27. This all takes commitment from all the members to actively look for prospects who are out there in many of the people that we come across in our daily lives. The District has opened registration for another two Rotary Leadership Institute courses.

• Course 25 is on Sundays 21 June, 5 July & 19 July

• Course 26 is on Saturdays 4 July, 1 August & 8 AugustThe three part program starts at 8:30 for 9:00am and finishes around 3:30 in the afternoon. Morning tea and lunch are provided.I went through the course last year and can highly recommend them to all Rotarians, not just new members and those taking on more responsibility in the club. They are flexible with the dates in that you can jump from one course to the other if you cannot make a particular session.

Service Above Self.

Next Week’s Meeting10th February 2015

“Some vague memories of my life in the Fifty’s and anecdotes of my employments as Garbage Collector to Taxi Driver”Courtesy PP Norm Gibson

I mentioned again, the ‘theme’ which lead me to ask another ‘of our own’, to share their (early) experiences with us all. Norm being still actively and gainfully employed, one of our more elderly and longer serving members, I thought that it would be edifying to hear of Norm’s early life in the ‘40s in Sydney.Norm’s renown wit and wisdom together with his reputation as a frequent attender at long and hard lunches must have been formed during these early days.Accordingly we look forward to learning of these experiences from one of the leading lights of Sydney’s Legal Fraternity.

As part of the Food Supply programme, The Hunger Project makes loans to poor farmers (mostly women) in the form of high-performance corn seed and fertilizer. The loan package comprises 10 kg high-performance hybrid corn seed, 50 kg basal dressing fertilizer and 50 kg top dressing fertilizer. Local THP officers also provide training in cultivation in order to maximize farmers’ crop yields. The programme is highly successful, and can increase crop yields from around 12 bags per acre under traditional cultivation methods to as much as three times that amount. Farmers usually cultivate around one acre each (i.e. per family). The loans are repaid in corn from each farmer’s crop. The epicentre Food Bank Committee determines the amount of repayment in the harvest year based on then prevailing seed corn and fertiliser prices. The repayment rate is set so that the repayment can enable the Food Bank to make a similar number of new loans from the proceeds of repayment. Usually the repayment rate is 6-9 bags, so the loans are a highly attractive proposition for the farmers. During “the hungry months” (December through April) everyone used to have to make a trip to purchase corn from a market. Such trips involve considerable expense (that would otherwise be used to buy more corn), or an arduous walk to and from the market. This walk involves great difficulty in carrying significant amounts of grain, and the risk of personal violence, involving robbery and/or rape for women. THP has changed all that by eliminating the need for many poor families to buy corn (since they can grow enough with a Farm Inputs loan), and by making corn available from local Food Banks.

Below are the parts of the Food Supply programme:

� Food Banks: ensuring access to staple foods year-round and providing stores for dry season, famine or droughts. Food banks also stabilize day-to-day food prices in local markets during times of crisis.

� Agricultural Innovations and New Technologies: providing improved seed and fertilizer as well as innovative and low cost technologies such as drip irrigation, the use of micro-dose fertilizer and new food storage technologies.

� Community Farms: enabling people to work together as a community and learning sustainable methods of composting, intercropping and restoration of soil fertility.

� Agricultural Diversification: improving nutrition, economic stability and soil health through diversification strategies such as off-season gardening, crop rotation, income source diversification and local organic fertilizations.

� Microfinance Programs: providing women farmers with easy access to credit allowing for farming, family health care and education, resulting in an improved standard of living.

Malawi currently has 7 Epicentres, reaching across 190 villages. By supporting food supply programmes you are ensuring food is available to approximately 250000 people.


Our Vision

We believe that hunger can end, and that ours is the generation that can end it once and for all. Hunger and poverty does not need to exist in today’s world. There is more than enough food and resources produced for everyone. People who live in hunger are not the problem - they are the solution. At The Hunger Project, we don’t see a billion mouths to feed. We see a billion human beings who are enterprising and resilient. They are playing the major role in ending hunger. Our work is to unlock their capacity and leadership so they can end their own hunger. That’s what we do. We build leaders.

The Hunger Project works to end hunger and poverty by pioneering sustainable, grassroots, women-centred strategies and advocating for their widespread adoption in countries throughout the world. Our vision is a world where every woman, man and child leads a healthy, fulfilling life of self-reliance and dignity.

Our Three Pillars

The Hunger Project (THP) carries out its mission with strategies that are integrated, effective, replicable and sustainable, based on three fundamental pillars: 1. Start with women 2. Mobilise everyone 3. Engage government

What We Do x In eight African countries, THP is mobilising more than 120 clusters of villages,

called epicentres, to work together to establish and manage their own programmes for microfinance, health, education, food security, income generation and gender equality. Nearly 2 million people in rural Africa have access to epicentre facilities and programs.

x In seven states of India, THP is training and empowering women leaders who are elected to village councils to be the key change agents for ending hunger and poverty in their villages. More than 83,000 elected women have been trained in partnership with local organisations.

x Across Bangladesh, THP trains and empowers volunteer leaders, called animators, to mobilise their villages and strengthen the institutions of local democracy so people can meet basic needs. More than 270,000 trained village-level leaders are initiating projects such as education campaigns for safe drinking water and sanitation.

x THPA is sustained by a global movement of passionate individuals and organisations who are taking a stand for the end of hunger. Our investors are not simply donors but involved partners and stakeholders in the fulfilment of our mission.

Hunger Stats x 870 million people are hungry x More than 60% are women x Every day, 25,000 people die of

hunger or related causes

THP At a Glance x $18.7 million global budget in 2012 x Only 380 employees worldwide

x 395,000 trained volunteer leaders taking actions in their communities

x Currently reaching 19 million people in nearly 15,000 villages reached worldwide

THP Hero in Action Ndéye Loum (centre) coordinates a literacy class for over 30 women in her village, who now know how to read and write in Wolof, Senegal’s primary local language. The class also serves as a forum for women to share about their challenges.

After being trained as a THP Women’s Empowerment Program trainer, Ndéye carried out sessions on reducing violence against women and early marriages throughout all the villages near the epicentre.

Her community members describe her as an “ever-present, tireless and committed individual dedicated to the development of her village and its surroundings.”

Elaine O’Brien Visitor January 27th Meeting

Elaine O’Brien joined our meeting and spoke briefly about her Club in Dunbar in Scotland. Dunbar is a small community of some 7,000 people with a working fishing harbour opening onto the North Sea. Dunbar is only 30 km from Edinburgh and has a Nuclear Plant and Cement works nearby which bring families to this delightful Scottish town.

Will & Louise met Elaine by chance in the coffee shop last May when visiting a cousin ( A very active Rotarian too). Amazingly our brief discussion shifted to the Belrose Club Christmas street decorations. Elaine helped on those 18 months ago.

Elaine is visiting her daughter family and grandchildren on the northern beaches.Thanks for joining us Elaine.

Carol Arrives HomeDear rotary friends,

After a 37 hours trip, I finally arrived at my destination.. Home!!I took 4 flights, Sydney-Perth-Johannesburg-São Paulo-Maringá, and then 2 hours drive home. The flights were alright, we know how planes are. Didn’t have a lot of space and the air conditioner made me so sick (Í am having a cold now!).Everyone here is really excited. My family was all in the airport and after 2 hours drive from there to my hometown, we stoped at my Rotary Club - it was 00:30 am and the rotarians were still waiting for me - where we said hello and I quickly talked about my exchange.After that, once I got home and I opened my room’s door, all my friends were in ther, screaming “Surprise!”. It was really funny, I couldn’t believe.It’s my third day back and to be honest, seing all my family again was weird! It doesn’t seem like the last time when I saw then was a year ago. Everything is the same and I feel very different. It makes me feel like everything that I lived in Australia on the past year was a dream.Being back to reality is also good. Me and my parents have been trying to catch up in how much we missed each other. I am happy, but already missing Australia and all of you.There’s some photos attached of mydeparture and arrival.Hope to see you all again soon.Keep in contact and stay safe.Love,Carol”

ABOUT ROTARYThe world’s first service club, the Rotary Club of Chicago, Illinois, USA, was formed on 23 February 1905 by Paul Harris.

Rotary is a worldwide organisation of business and professional leaders that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world. More than 1.2 million Rotarians belong to over 34,100 Clubs in 210 countries and geographical areas. Rotary Club membership represents a cross-section of the community’s business and professional men and women. The world’s Rotary Clubs meet weekly and are non-political, non-religious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds.

The main objective of Rotary is service – in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today’s most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and violence. They also support programs for youth, educational opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers, and other professionals, and vocational and career development.

The Rotary motto is Service Above Self.
