Congratulations! We've made it through another challenging year. 2022 had it all, the third "unprecedented" year in a row, jam-packed with plague, flood, war and famine.
 
Despite these challenges, our club is doing very well serving overseas and local communities by:
  • Providing reusable menstrual kits to South Sudan to ensure girls receive the same education as boys
     
  • Providing clean water and sanitation in Cambodia to reduce diseases
     
  • Supplying clothing, educational and medical supplies to developing countries
     
  • Recycling household goods and helping people create homes to rebuild lives
     
  • Delivering donated clothing and footwear to people across Melbourne
     
  • Mentoring Victorian Police and Ambulance Officers to improve relationships with communities
     
  • Helping young musicians and scientists to realize their dreams
     
  • Helping children to remain engaged in education to maximize adult opportunities
     
  • Running Youth Mental First Aid workshops to build capability to deal with youth mental illness 
     
  • Showcasing beautiful gardens across Victoria to raise funds for mental health initiatives
     
  • Raising funds for humanitarian work around the world
     
It was great seeing people coming together for our Christmas Breakfast. At the meeting, we were able to welcome Nicholas Oei into our fold, with more new members promised for the new year. The Harambee A Capella warmed our hearts and injected some of the holiday spirit that infuses all of us during this period. We again assembled a terrific collection of hampers full of food.
  
I hope that you have had an opportunity to recharge your batteries, step out into the sunshine (weather permitting) and indulge in food and good company.
 
Looking forward to continuing to make a difference in 2023.
 
Kind regards,
Rohan
