E Link
On June 15th, The Rotary club of Hampton participated in the opening of the new E Link Freeway. Together with many clubs in D9810, we cooked and sold hundreds of sausages to hungry bike riders and directed vintage cars. As a result of this effort, Hampton was lurky enough to win one of the BBQs used on the day. We have donated it to Gordon Care; a facility for homeless youth.
Storm Water Conservation Project at Hampton Primary School
With Victoria just coming to the end of a period of 8 years of drought, there has been much attention to the issue of water conservation and the harvesting and reusing of water. This project harvested and then reused the stormwater from the Hampton Primary grounds in the school toilets. This reduced water consumption at the school by 150,000 litres per month. This practical demonstration of the possibilities for water conservation has now been applied at other schools across Victoria.Read more about this project.
Fiji Solar lighting - Outer Yasawa Islands
In the island village of Nabukeru, there has been an amazing change in the educational possibilities for the children. They can now study after dark with the help of a newly installed solar lighting system. Read more about this project.
Dentist’s Chair for the Solomn Islands
A 37 year old dentist’s chair donated by a local dentist has found a new place of service in Honiara. Read more about this project.
Aceh Indonesia - Assistance through The Rotary Foundation
We are joining with a number of other clubs in District 9810 to support a Literacy Project in Aceh. This is a Rotary sponsored mobile library literacy van that visits children in the Tsunami affected areas. The activities and reading help the children developing their literacy skills - but also supply welcome relief from the devestation that still surrounds them. Our club contribution is only $650.00, but through PDG Graeme Woolacott, the monies from our club and other Rotary clubs and a Foundation Grant will allow the van to continue this valuable work.
Dam Rectification Project in the Yasawa Islands, FIJI
Our club has funded rectification work in re-building of the dam supplying water to the village of Matacawalevu, Yasawa Islands, Fji. Read more about this project.
Friendship Exchange to UK in 2006
18 Rotarians, including Hampton member, Marie Laney, from Victoria and Tasmania completed an exchange visit to the south of England for 2 weeks. This was a wonderful opportunity to cement friendships with English Rotarians and learn about their local culture.
