We were blessed to have two impressive speakers presenting on work they are currently involved with that are having fantastic outcomes.
John Soliman, president and founder of Reaching, talked about how his not for profit organisation helps people in need with food and material aid. They help predominately through the delivery of free groceries and materials to the homeless. People who donate can choose a type of recipient they'd like to help by purchasing a targeted grocery pack for a pensioner, single parent or a family. For more information go to the Reaching website.
Ashley Robinson (pictured above), Student Woman of the Year 2019 and a Humanitarian Affairs Peace Ambassador 2019, talked about her studies and work in looking into systemic responses of the legal system for areas of conflict such as wars and emergencies. At 23, Ashley is studying a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Criminal and Community Justice.
In May's meeting, John Pillay from the Rotary Club of Liverpool West, spoke about the Club's water bore and toilet block projects in Fiji and the challenges faced in successfully completing and maintaining that infrastructure. He also spoke about the fruitful relationship they have formed with the local Fijian Rotary Club to make these projects such a success.
