Thirty years of civil war has left the North & the East of the country with very many social & economic problems which are making their adverse impact on the lives of the local population especially the youth. There are alarming reports on the incidence of Abuse of Alcohol, Tobacco, Drugs and sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS. Several youths have fallen victims to these evils and it has become an urgent need to work out a continuous programme to create much needed awareness among the youth, our future generation.

This document discusses funding needs for medical equipment at the Arayampathy Hospital in Sri Lanka. Arayampathy Hospital serves a population of 32,000 people and is the district hospital for the Manmunai Pattu division. However, it is underfunded and understaffed, with only three doctors. The hospital urgently needs repairs to its dilapidated morgue and refrigeration system to properly handle and store deceased patients. The document also lists medical equipment needed to improve acute and critical care services, such as cardiac beds, monitors, infusion pumps, and defibrillators. Obtaining cost estimates from local suppliers for this priority equipment is highlighted.
The Base Hospital in Mallavi, Sri Lanka serves 45,000-50,000 people but lacks intensive care unit (ICU) facilities. As a result, emergency patients must be transferred 63 km to Mullaitivu General Hospital. Given the poverty and hardship faced by the local population, establishing an ICU at Mallavi Hospital would reduce transfers and hardship. The project seeks $52,000AUD/$46,000USD to refurbish space and purchase essential equipment like ventilators, monitors, and beds to create a functional ICU and improve access to emergency care for the community.

PCB Rotary named top club in district
July 05, 2012 08:02:59 PM / JESSICA McCARTHY / News Herald Writer @PCNHJessica
PANAMA CITY BEACH — The Panama City Beach Rotary Club has been named district club of the year,
based on the many service projects it undertakes in the community.
Dave Johnson, past president, said earning the award was a group effort.
“It’s a compilation of three benchmarks within the Rotary that narrowed it
down to two clubs in the district,” Johnson said. “As president, I’m most
proud of the Veterans Miracle League Game; that probably gave us an edge
as well, based on how incredible and meaningful the event was.”
Rotary International is known as the service club aimed at eradicating polio,
but there is much more to each local club. The PCB Rotary is also involved
in projects such as hosting Grills Gone Wild, supporting the Miracle League
and supporting the Backpack Blessings program.
Grills Gone Wild, brainchild of PCB Rotary member Alan Graham, raised money for several local charities.
During the June 28 meeting, he said there may be an ice cream themed event in the works as another service
project.
Miracle League involvement includes announcing for games, creating a Miracle League Veterans Game and
assisting players through their games.
The Backpack Blessings program, started by Joe and Stacy Thomas, is one of the ways the PCB club
supports efforts to end hunger of school children in the area and the founders were recognized as the non-
Rotarian family of the year.
Working to better their community in various ways is part of why the club earned the club of they year award in
a district with 51 clubs.
During her speech as incoming president of the PCB club, Erica Spivey said Rotary’s scope has evolved.
“Rotary has already done much to change the world,” Spivey said. “Polio is nearly gone; we are very close.
Thousands of projects serving millions of people around the world have improved so many different aspects of
people’s lives, from simply providing clean water or vaccinations to providing money for special scholarships
to send the best and the brightest to graduate school in foreign countries.”
Spivey started her Rotary service in the Rotaract Club at what is now Gulf Coast State College.
“I came to understand what getting things done really looks like, what real fellowship means, and that the
Rotary Clubs that are spread throughout the world can accomplish more than any other organization because
of this fellowship,” Spivey said.
Something else that sets PCB Rotary apart is the way the club approaches service. Rotary Clubs have a four-
way test that projects and actions must pass to be part of their service. The test asks “Of the things we think,
say or do, is it the truth, is it fair to all concerned, will it build goodwill and better friendships and will it be
beneficial to all concerned. The PCB Rotary has added a fifth question to their test: they ask if it is fun.
“It means being fun in spirit; although we deal with serious issues, we try to be lighthearted as well,” Johnson
said. “We also try to make our meetings fun. We try not to be too straight-laced.”

National Skills Week
National Skills Week is a new initiative, a collaborative approach dedicated to raising the status of practical
and vocational learning, enabling all Australians to gain a greater understanding of the opportunities, their
potential and how they contribute to a successful, modern economy. Learning by doing is as important as
academic learning- there are many paths to success.
In 2011 the International WorldSkills Competition, often referred to as the Skills Olympics takes place in
London (October 5th – 8th). Over 50 nations will be competing including Australia who will be sending a team
of 30 of Australia’s elite skilled champions (The Skillaroos). The team will train tirelessly for the next 10
months, refining their skills in preparation to compete against other competitors from around the world in their
quest for gold at the 41st WorldSkills International Competition in London.
The Skillaroos will be representing 27 different skill categories such as Restaurant Service, Fashion
Technology, Car Painting and Landscape Gardening etc.
The 41st WorldSkills International Competition will be a showcase of the global skills standards displayed by
competitors from over 50 countries representing 45 skill areas. The competition is expected to draw crowds of
over 150,000 people. The Skillaroos will not only face the pressures of excelling in their skill categories, but
also defending Australia’s current 5th place ranking in the world- a great legacy from the preceding Australian
Team at the 2009 Competition in Calgary, Canada and an outstanding achievement that demonstrates
Australia’s commitment and quality relating to VET outcomes.
The concept of National Skills Week is to use the success and focus of the Skills Olympics in London by
linking to a National Skills Week in Australia.
Recently WorldSkills Australia held a Youth Forum involving past competitors who displayed their commitment
and vision to get more youth involved in trades and skills. They represent a formidable and enthusiastic group
from every state and territory. They believe in Vocational Education. Its anticipated that these past
competitors, could be used to coordinate and implement activities across the country. Activities that would
raise the profile of trades and skills. Additionally, past winners of the National Training Awards could also
contribute and participate.
Importantly, News Limited have agreed to support National Skills Week as the official media partner (News
Ltd are sponsors of WorldSkills Australia). This will provide considerable media opportunity and leverage for
VET generally. SkillsOne Television would also add programming for the week to be aired via Foxtel & Austar
nationally, with promotion and content via Sky News Business Channel.
Other countries have a National Skills Week; notably European Commission, E-Skills week across 20
countries, VQ Day (Vocational Qualifications Day) UK, and National Apprenticeship Week in the UK.

Invitation to Attend National Skills Week 2012
Rotary clubs around the globe have many things in common, including
a commitment to service. All year long, clubs are taking action to make
a difference in their communities. Here’s a roundup of recent club
activities worldwide:
Australia
In a cross between a treasure hunt and The Amazing Race reality
competition, teams participating in the Rotary Club of Mill Point’s BHP
Billiton Ramble in October set out with maps, clue sheets, and cell
phones to figure out challenges at 40 locations across Perth. During the
four-hour event, teams earned points by texting their answers to the
problems, and some won prizes for their costumes, which included
Smurfs, fairies, and cartoon characters. The 4,000 participants raised
more than US$20,000 for the club’s projects, Australian Rotary Health,
and the Channel 7 Telethon Trust.

P – President PP - Past President PHF - Paul Harris Fellow While attending a Marriage Encounter Weekend, Tony and Julie
listened to the instructor declare, 'It is essential that husbands
and wives know the things that are important to each other.'
He addressed the men. 'Can you each name and describe your
Club Calendar wife's favourite flower?'
Tony leaned over, touched Julie's arm gently and whispered,
'White Wings Self-raising, isn't it luv?'
Thus began Tony's life of celibacy.
