Like to lend a hand in Cambodia & Vietnam?

Eyes Wide Open, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Melbourne South, has developed an engaging 14 day humanitarian tour to Cambodia & Vietnam with volunteer work planned at six Rotary projects.
 
Based on your individual skills, whatever they may be, you will be making a meaningful contribution to orphanages, schools, hospitals and a centre for disabled children. Everyone can teach English as a minimum! The trip will also include cultural visits to ancient wonders like Angkor Wat and sobering historical sites such as the Killing Fields in Phnom Penh. Click here for more details of the itinerary. 

As a Rotarian, you might consider this trip:

  • As an engaging way to introduce a family member, son/daughter, grandchild or friend to Rotary. The trip will give non-Rotarians an unforgettable insight into the life changing work Rotary is already doing AND participants will get to contribute their own time and skills at each project. Nothing is more rewarding than helping communities in need of our assistance and care.
  • To offer to a worthy recipient within your community. Your Club may consider sponsoring this person to attend as a reward for good community service.
  • To see for yourself what Rotary is doing in this region of the world. It's a safe, organised and comfortable way to see the world AND make a difference.
Bookings must be received by 30 November 2009. To book email eyeswideopen.rotary@gmail.com or book online at http://www.eyeswideopen.org.au/ewocalendar?eventId=62068&EventViewMode=EventDetails 
 
It would be great if you could let your fellow Rotarians know about this trip by publishing information in your bulletin.
