Robert Hicken, the founder & CEO of GPNow (https://www.gpnow.net/) will be at the Rotary Club of Subiaco to tell us more about how we can make a difference to the average person on the street in Ukraine through telehealth in partnership with a WA home-grown initiative. They've been operating a shoe-string budget to provide primary health care to the most vulnerable in order to relieve the pressure on a health system suffering the effects of war. The medical practitioners are mostly Ukrainian doctors (refugees) who can't practice abroad and would have probably taken on a janitor's job just to feed their families.

There is a potential for funds to be raised in support of this project through an online platform know as "Benevity" that many large North American and European companies promote to their staff for charitable giving.

How to apply the power of your mindset in achieving your goals. An artful activity will be conducted where we will be listening for automatic negative thoughts that can and will arise as people are learning new skills.  Through the activities we will explore how to accept the emotions that come when you are in your stretch zone, making mistakes and learning.  Learn how to recognise, deal with and reframe thoughts such as perfectionism and disappointment, which are helpful in persevering and working through uncomfortable situations.  Tips and tools wiill be given on how to think with a growth mindset in all parts of life.

Strength Heroes work with families with early years and primary aged children, schools, childcare providers, Out of School Hours Care programs, local councils and other organisations. Their unique approach has seen it grow steadily in making an impact on children’s wellbeing in WA.  In 2022, Fiona Perrella was named a finalist in Commissioner for Children and Young People Mental Educator category of the WA Mental Health Awards.

Organ and tissue donation can suddenly affect anyone in the community though we all imagine it won’t happen to us. It helps to have considered the issues involved in such an event before being confronted by the unimaginable. Tara Lowther will give a personal account of her road to transplantation and Marg Martin will talk about the largest organ donation event in the world, the World Transplant Games, to be held in Perth from 15 - 21 April 2023.  Events like this need many willing volunteers in order to take place. Both speakers are immensely grateful to the donors and their families who gave them ‘the gift of life’, the greatest gift of all.

Tara had a double lung transplant in 2011- I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at 6 weeks old, spent the rest of my life in and out of hospital for repeat chest infections. The disease progressively got worse and I was listed for transplant around 2008. After waiting 2.5yrs I finally got the call to get lungs.  The op has been unbelievably successful and I am now a sports teacher, have lived in London for 8 years, traveled loads, continue to use sport as a way to look after the lungs and stay as healthy as I can be.

Marg had a liver transplant 26 years ago and has attended six World Transplant Games and seven Australian Transplant Games.

Bruce has a small business called Trees Australia where he takes groups, especially school students on tree planting excursions. The presentation will examine environmental problems in WA, young people’s response to those problems, and the solutions Trees Australia use to give young people the hope and confidence to tackle large scale environmental rehabilitation projects.

Bruce grew up on a farm near Kojonup in the Great Southern, attended Marcus Oldham Farm Management College in Geelong, Victoria and came home to run the farm. He was an early adopter of what is now No-Till cropping and was the first farmer in the Kojonup area to run an all cropping farm business.

After leaving farming he went to university and in 1999 he graduated from the Curtin University Graduate School of Business with a Master of Leadership and Management degree. This experience led to another change in direction and in 2008 he started what is now Trees Australia with the goal of giving young people hope that they can solve large scale environmental problems. Since he started Trees Australia, 6000 school students have planted over 450,000 seedlings in Perth and regional WA.

Wherever possible he uses a scientific approach to make management decisions for planting projects based on the results from his own trial plots planted by the school students.

Bruce also organises the Two Knowledges bushwalk, a joint presentation by an indigenous educator and a western trained ecologist who demonstrate how western science and Noongar science overlap and support each other.

Bruce is Deputy Chair of WA Landcare Network, volunteers for the Bicton Environmental Action Group, and the Friends of Ken Hurst Park.

In 2019, he was made a Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary Club of Melville for his activities supporting the club’s environmental goals.
