This conference provides Rotarians with the opportunity to join together in fellowship to share information about successful projects and to learn from each other. It is by sharing information that our communities benefit from our knowledge, innovation, creativity, resourcefulness, and enthusiasm. Through Rotary we make the world a better place
The Global Nurses & Midwives Rotary Club invite you to join us as we explore this fabulous part of the world.
Optional Tours will be available at a number of ports where we will discover the sites but also join with fellow Rotarians from a local Club to gain an understanding of what they are doing and share our own experiences. It will be fabulous!
We are a very busy Club - below is a snapshot of the projects that we are currently involved in.
The Three C's Cafe
The Three C's Cafe Check-in, Connect, and Chat is a virtual cafe space facilitated by members of the GNMRC who have been trained to offer a supportive environment for Nurses and Midwives to share mutual experiences, concerns, and feelings in a confidential, safe space.
The cafe sessions are available via a zoom link which you will be given once you register for a session. Each cafe session will last one hour.
Shelter Box is an exceptional organisation that our Club has partnered with. They provide emergency relief to people around the world who have been made homeless by natural disasters and conflict.
We have pledged to fund five Shelter Boxes each year for the next 3 years. The cost is $1000 per Shelter Box and we raise funds for this through raffles and events held at Education Conferences conducted by the Nurses for Nurses Network and Education at Sea.
Wendy McIntosh and Cecelia Flom head up this project.
The Florence Nightingale International Foundation (FNIF), the charitable arm of ICN, launched the Girl Child Education Fund (GCEF) in 2005 with the mission of supporting access to education for the orphaned daughters of nurses in developing countries.
The Rotary Solar Case has been developed, first and foremost, to provide light in remote health centres, aiding health workers where the availability of electricity is problematic at the best of times. The ability to provide portable lights for village birthing assistants is a major priority in areas where women often give birth in village huts or village health centres where the light from kerosene lanterns or mobile phones is otherwise the best available alternative.
