There are more than 40 million reasons our club’s super star member Daisy Ann Cumming joined the Rotary Action Group Against Slavery.
The RAGAS ambassador spoke to members this morning about her journey in the Philippines from extremely wealthy childhood to her violent marriage, poverty and fleeing to Australia with her 5 children.
As a young mother overseas she felt helpless fighting a corrupt system that sanctioned child exploitation and sex slavery. She is now dedicating her life to shine a light on a hidden shame that is also happening in Australia.
In 2021 to 2022 Australian Federal Police received 294 reports of modern slavery including forced labour, sexual exploitation, forced marriage and domestic servitude.
We applauded Daisy Ann’s commitment. In 1979 the first Rotary campaign was held by Australian Rotarians in the Phillipines to eradicate Polio. The world is almost Polio fee. The aim is to do the same with Modern Slavery.
Please bring a friend on March 3rd to this inspiring breakfast. Tickets are just $30.

RAWCS has commenced fundraising activities to support the impacted communities resulting from the New Zealand Floods.
New Zealand Flood Appeal donations.rawcs.com.au/60-2022-23
Rotary Australia World Community Service Ltd (RAWCS) will work with local and international Rotary networks to facilitate the distribution of funds raised.
The fundraising campaign was launched last week to support the communities in need as these disasters continue to cause significant loss.
“The money raised from the Appeals will go directly and quickly to support those impacted, providing essential items and financial support to supplement the funds that are being provided by World Governments,” said Rotary Australia World Community Service Ltd CEO Andrew Woodward.
Mr Woodward said that he expects the appeals to not only raise much needed funds, but also specific goods, including medical equipment and supplies that can be repurposed in the affected areas.
Rotary Australia World Community Service is a not-for-profit charity that aims to be the leading Australian charitable organization for people’s wellbeing, supporting Rotarians and Rotary Clubs undertaking humanitarian projects in Australia and overseas.
Tax Deductible Donations to the appeal can be made on the Rotary Australia World Community Service website at rawcs.org.au or directly to the appeal using the link below:

Growth, bravery and self confidence are the words our very own Hills Rotaractor Madeleine said that she gained from Rotary’s recent RYLA program🌟
In Thanking our club for sponsoring her to do the program she said it had taught her invaluable insight into herself and added to her leadership skills.
As she says: You are never too old to Grow.
We wish Madeleine well in her move to Rockhampton.🌟
We also welcomed old friend Len Smith who gave us a Bunnings voucher and received a Friendship certificate.
It was also great to have AG Oscar visit.
Visitors are always welcome. We meet on Friday mornings at the Hills Shire Cafe 3 Columbia Court Norwest. #norwestrotary
Fantastic work Madeleine! 💗
