As there is no Rotary club in Oro for years now Rotary club of Port Moresby has looked after this and the Kokoda track and area.
last year two health centers were built by the US navy in Pondetta, they were fitted out by Rotary. i am glad to say they are now both working well, one as a general aid center, the other as a maternity center. Rotary POM recently sent down two tons of Medicines and medical equipment like bandages etc, freight FOC courtessy of Consort Shipping, which were made into five equal sized lots and distributed to the two new health centers and 3 health centers in the bus, Dea, Sakurina and?.
Further RAWCS Eastern Region via Richard Manyweather sent us two full 20 ton containers of school equipment. this is being distributed to variuos schools in Oro with nearly all getting something, courtesy of Fiona Tanner, Dale McCarthy and the education dept.
also RAWCS inland Eastern Region purchased a new large ride on mowerfor use by the Rotary hospital in Kokoda and for use on the Kokoda Airstrip to keep the grass down. This has arrived in POM and Airlines PNG has offered to lift this in FOC as a donation to Rotary.
The Belrose Rotary club NSW sent 3 ECO toilets for use at schools on the Kokoda track, these arrived and have been carried in and assembled by NSW Rotary members. unfortunately the main chute for one toilet and the seats went missing in transport. these were replaced by the manufacturer FOC and should be going in shortly to finish the assembly although they are already being used. After all what are seats?
Cheers

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is Rotary's leadership training program for young people. RYLA participants can be ages 14-30, but most clubs and districts choose to focus on a narrower age range, such as 14-18 or 19-30.
RYLA emphasizes leadership, citizenship, and personal growth, and aims to
- Demonstrate Rotary's respect and concern for youth
- Provide an effective training experience for selected youth and potential leaders
- Encourage leadership of youth by youth
- Recognize publicly young people who are rendering service to their communities

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Rotarian. Rotary International is an association of individual clubs, with each club operating autonomously. Membership is extremely important to us, and we are always eager to hear from individuals interested in our mission and in joining a Rotary club. The RI universal premise is that the membership of each club constitutes an accurate representation of the business and professional population within the community served.
Membership in a Rotary club requires available business or professional classification opportunities as well as an invitation and sponsorship by a member of the club. Sometimes an individual cannot be invited or sponsored for membership.
Rotarians are business and professional leaders who take an active role in their communities while greatly enriching their personal and professional lives. A Rotary club contains a diverse group of professional leaders from the community that the club serves.
Membership in a Rotary club offers a number of benefits, including:
-
effecting change within the community
-
advancing business and professional contacts
-
developing leadership skills
-
gaining an understanding of — and having an impact on — international humanitarian issues
Through Rotary International's service programs, a Rotary club can have a significant effect on the quality of life in its community. Rotary Foundation programs offer opportunities to form international partnerships that help people in need worldwide. Some 1.2 million Rotarians in over 32,000 clubs in more than 160 countries make significant contributions to the quality of life at home and around the globe.
