Monthly themes a source of project ideas and publicity
In addition to the monthly Rotary International monthly themes there is the Rotary Down Under monthly themes: https://portal.clubrunner.ca/.../3b75f87f-277f-4d66.../1/ Download this PDF document.
 
These themes serve at least two purposes. First they can get you thinking about project possibilities and secondly the ideas on these topics in the magazine can provide direct project ideas (remember you can contact the featured clubs ad collaborate and / or ask for the project templates so you can do similar projects). Second you are invited to send in for consideration for inclusion your own project articles that match the monthly topic but need to do so at least 4 weeks ahead of publication. That way you get very wide (even global) publicity.
 
Next up is for March: Together, We Fight Hunger (Water and Sanitation Month) Hunger hides in every community. That’s why Rotary clubs support programs to provide healthy food and develop sustainable solutions to food insecurity. Fighting hunger to build stronger communities – that’s what People of Action do.  Send to editorial@rotarydownunder.com.au
 
As always!, if you send your article to RDU, copy the District PR Committee [Photo is foodbank collection by Rotary St Johns supported by Stonefields New World]

To families that live in city areas, children still attend school amidst sacrifices and to some point going without. Even in the West as the Rotary Clubs in both Nadi and Lautoka continue with assistance they are also assisted by our other Clubs in Suva. Recent assistance with thanks to Westpac Bank and Rotary Suva North the club was able to assist two school kitchens with 42 and 95 children respectively.
