- Club Service Report Kids Out to Hesketh Farm Jul 18 2023: As in previous years. students from Co-op Academy SoLrthfield. who have a variety of needs, were treated to a day out at Hesketh Farm in July 23. There were 28 students, 22 carers and 9 of our members and partners. The students and carers thoroughly enjoyed the day and we Rotarians enjoyed hosting this worthwhile event. CART In July 2023 we joined CARTS celebration of 40 years charitable work in Africa. We met their founder, Guildford Tompkins. now in his go's. And Bradford West featured in their slideshow with thanks to us for our support in loading containers bound for Africa. We continue to help load their containers whenever possible and they kindly give us space to transport items to Malawi for our projects there. ust 2023 Our RYLA student this year came from Immanuel College in Bradford. She enjoyed and really benefited from it and shared her experience with the club at a lunchtime meeting. Rota Peace Fellow Class XX112023-24 Our Peace fellow this year is from New Zealand, having graduated from Victoria University of Wellington with BA in Developmental Studies and Internal Relationships in 2012. Since then, she has worked intem¢ltionally across the not-for-profit sector and for the immigration dept of the Government of NZ. She is passionate about humanitarianism and poverty alleviation for the world's most vulnerable communities and believes local leaders need to be empowered to enact change within their own communities. She has been a real pleasure to meet and has taken part in our Rotary events whenever her studies allow. At the end of this Rotary year. She is travelling for three months to gain practical experience in the field. She will retum in September to continue her Masters degree in Bradford. Gaza A eal In response to a message from our Bradford peace fellow from Ukraine asking our club if we could help her fellow peace fellow to get his family out of Gaza, we invited Mohammed to talk to us about his familv's desperate situation. Their family house was bombed early on in October, and they fled south just with passport and ID. But since then they had been stuck in South Gaza, no longer safe. We were able to contribute towards their obtaining visa's and eventually, several months later, they finally crossed the border to safety. EroU 2023-24 We introduced a new project of rock painting and started a Facebook media 'Rotary Rocks Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, group. Our members had fun painting their own rocks to get the project slarted and these were then used to decorate the tables at our annual conferen dinner to show other clubs in D1040 how to join the project Our Shoebox project saw us doing a few bucket collections at two of our local Tesco stores and this enabled us to fill and distribute 250 shoeboxes to children in need throughout the Bradford Community in December 2023. We cuentlY have 175 boxes for the 24125 project in stock Our ongoing project at All Souls burial ground has been well attended throughout the year by our group and membei? ofthe local Boothtown Community- by the end of the summer good progress had been made and new community volunteers established. Litter picking has also been a big part of this project, and it is encouraging to see the bin bags we place being used and the level of discarded litter being reduced greatly. This project has been supported by the local ward councillor and Calderdale Council we joined the council team doing a huge local area litter collection and they in tum have been doing grass cutting around the paths to help us
We have supported the Rotary Community corps on various project inGluding face painting and fundraising for Mito Mission Wrapping Christmas presents in the local shopping centre to raise money for Bradford Nightstop, working a project with Yorkshire Wildlife trust, and attending many community events offering free face painting for children, origami crane making and Mehendi hands Kitty's kits have been a great success, supplied by Innchurches in Bradford, we have now taken more than 500 kits to 6 schools to make with children and parents we have also joined Innchurches at their school holiday Gooking sessions with some vulnerable children from the Bradford area. This was also joined by a British Sign Language teacher who taught basic sign to these children and parents. We are arranging British Sign Language in the community lessons to be taught at the Khidmat centre in Bradford along with the Kittys Kit project. Overall we have volunteered more than 500 hour8 Rotakids Herb arden Planted Jul 2023 refurbished June 2024 On 6.7.23 we had such fun supervising the Rotakids as they planted herbs in the plot next to the school gates Whe purple for polio bulbs were planted earlier this year. Thanks are due to Woodbank Garden Centre for donation of soil, supplying herbs at discounted cost and releasing 2 members of staff to help prepare the plot on the day. Also to a recent member and now friend of Rotary who shared her knowledge with us and the children and to a local gardener for help planting and teaching the children. Rotakids subsequently watered the plants daily and the herbs will be used by the school. And we had just as much fun and learned a whole lot more when we refurbished the plot with the hèlp of our local Woodbank Garden Centre in June 2024. Rotakid8 have completed 3 other projects this year: Collecting good as new books to send to Malawi to start a library for the street children rescued from the streets of Blantyre by the Butterfly Foundation for Pea, a summer holiday collection of good as new shoes forthe Butterfly children and learning to bake bread with Kitty's Kits, subsequently rolling it out to the whole school. Continuing Vocational work in Malawl: This Rotary year we have had two further visits to Malawi - Nov 2023 and April 2024. Our global grant is eventually completed and has been a great success, our club having made a valuable differen tom patient Care and staff satisfaction. There are now 3 comfortable. well equipped en-suite private rooms each with air conditioning, a well-used nurses. rest room, a laundry room and storeroom. They had been in use for twelve months, but the official signage was only put up in November 2023 when our three visiting Glub members were amazed and delighted to find the staff had named three rooms after them! They have proved popular with both patients and staff, improving morale of patients, guardians and staff, generating income used to keep the new rooms up to standard and to improve conditions on the general ward as shown by reports from senior nursing and medical staff, patient and staff questionnaires and review of the unit's financial accounts and by direct observation of our three club members plus our new honorary member. At the very top end of the operations carried out by our members and their colleagues. the 17 cochlear Implant patients were all reviewad in person and are thriving. Teaching and training of the Clinical Officers and registrars continue. We put on a 4 day meeting in November with great international attendan but lack of funds meant a number of our clinical officers could not attend. The number of clinical officers and the areas they cover have both increased this year. We now have 58 ENT CO'S and 9 audiologists, all equipped with personal tool kits from Bradford West Rotary, working in 23 locations throughout Malawi. We also completed a huge project - obtaining and installing bNO autoclave machines in the ENT unit in QECH in Blantyre. They are making a tremendous difference to the running of the unit and we have to thank the Bradford based Malawi Relief Fund for their generosity in funding this.
The Butterfiy Foundation for Peace in Malawi WE have increased our involvement with this charity and its work 'rescuing° children from the streets of Blantyre, reuniting them with their families and registering them in school and health serVIS whilst providing a place of safety, giving them a good meal every day and supplementing the education they get at school in addrtion to teaching social responsibility, kindness, mindfulness, and much more. We have taken them clothes, shoes, books and educational toys and equipment, sponsored school uniform (they must wear unifomi if they are to attend school). We have seen for ourselves the difference in the children, in theirwellbeing, behaviour and leaming. The younger children are doing so well at scPiool, one coming top in his class of 1501 During our last visit, wè took a donation from our Glub and bought educational books (to supplement those sent by our Rotakids) and cushions to fomi a library for them. That Library is now in full use. It was identified that the older children who had reached the age of 16 and 17 without ever having had any formal education were not benefiting in the same way as the younger children. So after talking to them it was concluded that they might benefrt from attending a vocational training college. Our Club agreed to sponsor six and four of them are now leaming carpentry, one plumbing and all loving it. Sadly one of the six dropped out. The college was dubious about taking on 'street kids. but took a leap of faith and now is full of praise for these boy8 and their achievements. We sponsored the Director to come to UK for 4 weeks to talk about his work at our District Conference in Scarborough - he made such a lasting impression on the Rotarians present that he was subsequently invited to talk to many clubs and has gained their ongoing support. One club has promised to sponsor another 3 older boys through vocational training. Another is looking at providing individual toolboxes when they qualify. +Vhilst on stage in Scarborough, Andrew made Rotary history by being made an honorary member of District 1040 and our club subsequently made him an honorary member of Bradford West. He is now regularly attending meetings with Rotary Club of Limbe in Malawi. Tree Planting in Malawi We were successful in applying for a District Grant to plant trees with the Butterfly foundation. Due to delay in administering the grant Ihis year, by the time we received the go-ahead we had missed two tree-planting seasons. But we can go ahead with this in OcVNov this year when our members will be visiting again. Meanwhile. we have introduced the Butterfly Foundation to Rotary Club of Limbe and other groups who have experience and will help.
