We’re proud to support The Whisperer Team with The Pub Whisperer and Support Over Suicide program, with a donation of $1,000.00 from the proceeds of the 2023 Seaford Rotary Seaside Walk. Jonathan Hart & Mario McDonagh talked about this important program at our February 1 meeting.
Their program includes the training of bar staff to recognise signs of suicide ideation in pubs.
Each year our Seaford Rotary Seaside walk raises funds for local suicide prevention initiatives. Our next walk is on Sunday, October 13, 2024 . Find out more here.
Our Rotarian Mark Huddleston visited the remote village in Indonesia where our club has partnered with the Rotary Club of Ubud Sunset to provide 100 water tanks to local families. Mark and his family joined local Rotarians Kartika and Laura plus three Rotaractors to inspect the tanks which had recently been installed, and applied stickers to the tanks denoting the supporting club. The stickers only get applied once the local Rotarians have certified that the tanks have been installed and are being used correctly by the families. Mark recorded this video:
Mark was visiting Bali with his family for a holiday, and was keen to visit the site in the Seraya region, on the eastern most point of Bali. Prior to the provision of these 1,200L tanks, local families had to rely on a monthly water truck delivery, where each family could only collect water once a month and lug it over rough and steep terrain. There is considerable annual rainfall, but no formal water collection and distribution infrastructure. This reliable water supply is life changing for these families, and they are extremely appreciative of Rotary’s efforts
