AN ENVISIONED GLOBAL GRANT FOR A MOBILE EYE TESTING UNIT
Handover of Mobile Eye Testing Bus
Graeme Woolacott - for everything there is a beginning and the beginning of this project I am going to talk upon was just a little bit different, because of the fact that Jill and I were in Bali in May last year at the combined District 3420 with D3310 Singapore. DGE Dyah of D3420 asked if we could assist with a Global Grant seeing that we had been involved with 3 others with the RC of Semarang Kunthi. I asked what and how much, it was to be a mobile eye testing unit and the cost would be about US$58,000.00

The wicking beds at Waverley Meadows Primary School were donated so that their school garden would be easier to maintain and keep alive over the summer months.
The garden is a big part of the school program and integrated into the school curriculum in many ways. By assisting with more robust watering less volunteers and school staff time are needed to keep the garden alive making it more secure and sustainable.
Provide new appliances and refresh the space of the Neighbourhood House kitchen. The space is used for social groups, education groups and to provide food relief for economically disadvantage people.
Early intervention can be life-changing for children with disabilities, especially those with physical challenges such as cerebral palsy.
Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed-CRP program supports children with cerebral palsy caused by brain injury before or shortly after birth. Very early intervention is critical and can make a lasting difference to both the children and their families.
Together, we are helping create better futures.
