From Afghanistan to New Zealand

Our speaker this week was Mortaza Sahar, who was introduced by our own member Elizabeth Arrowsmith a year 13 student at Pakuranga College.

He remembers as a child growing up in Afghanistan, a country which had been overrun by the Teleban and life was extremely difficult for a young lad and his family. Eventually they fled to Quetta living in one room and just surviving. His Uncle left and travelled towards Australia and after their boat was breaking up he was picked up by a container ship and arrived in Australia. From there the Uncle moved to New Zealand and Mortaza’s family then followed and settled in the Refugee centre at Mangere.

Along with our partners, we have helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children against polio in 122 countries. We have reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent worldwide and we won't stop until we end the disease for good.

Bringing together Health, Education and Business
Bringing together Health, Education and Business

British born Sarah Williams did her Paediatric training at the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital and is now Nurse Consultant with the Starship Community. During her research here, she saw a need in areas of Auckland and hatched a plan for an ambitious but innovative solution to the problem.She will inform us how they pulled off this exciting new project, (which is right here in our own backyard) and how the partnership between Health, Education and the business sector came together. This approach is the first of its kind in the country and demonstrates, not only one person’s passion, but the power of efficient networking. (the reason why many join Rotary)

Accompanying Sarah will be our very popular Principal of Panmure Bridge School, Richard Johnston, always an amusing and dynamic speaker.

Emergency Response Kits - Assist in a Practical Way

District Governor Ingrid has asked that everyone in Rotary District 9920 consider donating to the Emergency Response Kits (ERKs) project this year if not already done so.

ERKs are distributed following disasters including tsunami, cyclones and floods in Oceania and the South Pacific. The ERKs project was established in 1985 and was a District 9920 project for 20 years before it became expanded throughout New Zealand.

The supply of Box and Contents is in itself a District 9920 project and many Rotarians assist in a practical way each year by packing the kits in Auckland – hands on Rotary service.
