As mentioned in last week's bulletin, RC Docklands is teaming up with Educaring Africa, RC Central Melbourne and Rotary’s Donations in Kind (DIK) facility to transport donated medical equipment to complete a new medical clinic in Malawi. The 40 ft container will also send much needed school supplies to local Malawian schools.
A team of artists led by Tamirat Gebremariam has transformed the container into a giant African-themed mural on Harbour Esplanade, Docklands.
Tamirat is an Ethiopian-born Australia living in Melbourne's west. He has completed a Masters of Fine Art at the VCA in 2012 and received the Martin Foley MP Award for his work. He explores portraiture through the lens of his own migrant experience, bringing light and strength to his stories of Australians from all walks of life.
