November has been a dynamic month for District 9800, with inspiring events and impactful initiatives continuing to shape our Rotary year. Each interaction and milestone has further highlighted the passion and dedication that defines our district. Here’s a look at some of the key activities and updates this month:
Rotary Central Melbourne again held their successful Paul Harris Breakfast Foundation event for nearly 35 years and this year's on 12 November was not different. President Rhys welcomed all guests with a special mention of guests from Victoria Police Legacy: Chair Kate O’Neill and Community Engagement Coordinator Bob Raaymakers, and highlighted the partnership between Rotary Central Melbourne (RCM), Victoria Police Legacy (VPL) and World of Difference and the second Legatee Cambodian Tour, currently underway. He also reminded of the purpose of this marquee annual event, hosted by RCM: to raise funds for The Rotary Foundation.

In a partnership with Cabanatuan City Rotary, Werribee Rotary completed two productive projects in the Philippines. In September 2024 a very successful WASH (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene) project was completed at the Ibona Elementary School at Dingalan, on the east coast of Luzon. The school is in a low-income village area, with 600 children and 19 classrooms. As the school's piped water supply system was no longer operational and the childred needed to carry buckets of water to their classroom each day to flush the toilet in the small 'comfort room' at the rear of their classroom, Cabanatuan City RC had proposed a WASH Project to ensure safe and clean piped water.
Held across Australia, in partnership with Rotary, RYDA supports teachers on the journey as they provide their students with the tools and understanding they need to see themselves as active, responsible road citizens. RYDA provides students with the tools, habits and motivation to take action and stay safe on our roads as both drivers and passengers throughout their lives. In District 9800, Rotary Flemington Kensington has sponsored 125 students from a local secondary school to participate in the program.
Helen Keller’s words ring loud and clear with the Rotary Club of Keilor East and Rotary Passport Melbourne!! Joined by the Rotary Clubs of Melbourne, Balwyn and with support from Rotary District 9800 and The Rotary Foundation, two District International Grants are being implemented in Siem Reap Cambodia. Each grant is supporting the construction of WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) infrastructure at four rural schools, bringing clean water and sanitation solutions to more than 3,000 students and surrounding community members!Looking for past stories
