A successful day were held on Tuesday 5 and Wednesday 6 August at MacRob at Albert Park.160 girls packed 19,500 meals in 3 hours which will be distributed in Somaliland later this year.
I must say much easier days for us all since we have capped the student numbers.
We appreciate the contribution of the MacRob maintenance staff, the students and the six Port Phillip Rotary members. And we thank the catering team for the lovely lunch. A big thank you are extended to our setup and event team of Alex, David, Kyle, Ant & Bianca. A big welcome to Bianca who attended an event for the first time.
The next event was on Tuesday 12 August at Melbourne Uni with the RC Melbourne and Melbourne University Rotaract members. There is a saying go with your gut feeling – which I unfortunately ignored. Some brave souls got a little wet as if you may recall it rained in the late afternoon and continued into the evening on Tuesday.
The promised 50 – 55 participants didn’t arrive instead we only had the original 33 and they managed to pack 9,870 meals. Thanks to our team of Alex, Helen, Pat, Kylie, Justine, Tahlia and Kyle for all your assistance. We appreciate your ongoing support.
The following photos are from the event held on 12 August. The participants were assisted by a very young and keen junior volunteer, Gladys, pictured below.
