We had a fun meeting this morning when former club member Tracy Johnstone took us through a quick workshop that centred on personal Human Capital. With an amazing technological presentation‌.hehehe (back to the future with paper)....Tracy started by taking us through the 5 areas that make up Personal Capital: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Physical Capital Environmental Capital Financial Capital Social Capital Human Capital
With the time available our workshop just focused on Human Capital and our task was to pair up and without any written words: 1. Draw our partner 2. Draw pictures that represented: a. What they are skilled at b. Their Passion c. Where they are knowledgeable I must say it was an interesting and enjoyable workshop where we learnt plenty about our fellow Rotarians and also what terrible artists we have at the club. Most of us attempted portraits, but Mark T stuck with the tried and true stick picture method.

We next had to celebrate the 75th birthday of one of our amazing cooks Gary Lockwood. Julie C cooked up a batch of birthday cupcakes and we got Gary out of the kitchen so we could sing him a happy birthday. He really is an important person to the club with all the support gives, a classic example today, actually coming in to cook for us on the day of his birthday. Thank you from all of us Gary and a huge happy birthday to you. Gary also related the many close calls he has had with the Grim Reaper, so making it to age 75 and still fit is a bonus. Lastly a quick mention on our CanTeen fun day this Sunday. I would love to see as many members as possible turn up and represent the club at an event that should be a great deal of fun for the kids and also us Rotarians. We need a few people to help with the BBQ and food but having numbers there shows CanTeen and all the people that attend that we are a club that gets out to support events and also have fun together. Hope to see you there, fun starts at 12pm at Nightingale Park. President Greg

We live in a world today that continues to be ravaged by war, poverty and injustice. This lack of peace is present everywhere in our society, leading people to ask themselves the question of what we can possibly do to change this. Having attended the Rotary Peace Forum, I was able to hear from a number of speakers who do not simply sit and ask themselves this question – they act. On Saturday the 23rd of February, I sat in the audience at the Forum speechless and in awe at the extraordinary tasks being accomplished by ordinary people. I was particularly moved listening to Lieutenant Governor of SA Hieu Van Le’s speech about his life before moving to Australia, and how he suffered profusely at the hands of the Vietnam War. He spoke of family members and friends disappearing and the struggles of everyday life. His speech lead me to consider the trivial things we teenagers worry about every day. Common examples are ‘How am I going to finish all my homework tonight?’, ‘What am I going to wear this weekend?’ ‘Has anyone seen my phone charger?’. I began to ask myself how these compare to the concerns of teenagers in war-ridden and poverty stricken countries and instantly felt compelled to take action. But I was unsure as to what difference someone as young as myself could possibly make. At that moment, 26 year old Emily Haren took to the stage. She spoke about the Oaktree Foundation, which involves a group of young people working together to end poverty around the world. Emily told stories of how she travelled to Fiji to promote peace and about a man she met there who was persecuted for simply stating what he believed in. I found it incredible how such a young woman had done so much for peace and did not let her age act as a barrier to achieving her goals. Emily also shared with us a quote that Steve Jobs once said, “The ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do”. I would like to kindly thank the Rotary Club of Magill Sunrise for giving me the opportunity to attend such a thought-provoking and motivating afternoon, and recommend it to those who may have the opportunity to attend in later years.
