PROJECTS SUGGESTIONS.
Past Rotarian Greg facilitated the discussion. Aim is to identify 5-10 Projects which could be divided into Short Medium or Long Term. Areas of interest could be: Social, Health and Fitness, Aged Care and could be ours alone or shared with another Club. - Martin suggested Aboriginal Youth, Homeless, Walk Against Ice
- Food Bank. Organise large event to collect goods in carparks in central areas eg by Woolies , Aldi and Coles and then organise trailers to take to the Food Bank. Also, organise for groups to help at the depot itself.
- Aboriginal Health. Assist Aboriginal Communities in personal hygiene education through provision of washing machines maybe in central points like schools to ensure clothes are washed regularly. Can also provide refurbishes machines. Aboriginal Child Literacy Programme in Primary Schools. Working with teachers to set targets, use role models eg footy stars to visit and assist. Instagram already has similar programmes on their site so Rotary can tap into this.
- Monet Garden at Stirk Park. Could be a long term project linked with the Park’s redevelopment eg children’s playground.
- Caravan Safety Course. Organise a Day to promote road safety, maintenance etc and providing a Rotary sticker after completion.
- Vegetable Garden in Primary Schools. Work with P&C to develop the garden and invite chef to cook a meal using the produce. Concern here is staffing as it depends on enthusiastic teacher. If staff changes no guarantee that project will continue. Could be more useful to meet with Primary Heads and discuss their needs.
- Connecting Youth with Residents in Aged Care Homes. Organise visits and letter writing from local pupils. This has proved very rewarding both for pupils and residents where it is practised.
- Organise Walk/Bike/Fitness Trail eg in Jorgensen Park
Guidelines for Rotary Projects. Should focus on Humanitarian Aid and not already in place by other organisations. Next level is to look at Pros and Cons of suggested Projects, develop a business plan. Project feasibility could be assessed by using our Community Grant Application Form and collating Short term Projects. |
