Toilets for students

We've created this project to help build toilets and hand washing facilities at the Government High School, Gillesugur in the Raichur district of Karnataka, South India. 

Rotary Caroline Springs president Dr Nivedita Nagarale become aware of poor conditions at the small school, initially through a connection with the head teacher. The teacher had advocated for making the much needed improvements on her own over time, without success.

Here is a video of Dr Nivedita in India.

Culture Connects us All: An Art Exhibition - Monday 16 March - Monday 4 May Melton library
 
A proud moment for myself and Simarjeet Singh of Rotary Caroline Springs to be recognised by Melton as some of those that connect the community. Sadly I was unable to attend the ceremony as I was away on urgent family matters in Singapore.
 
 
Melton City Council will celebrate Cultural Diversity Week 2026 (16-22 March) at an art exhibition at Melton Library & Learning Hub. The exhibition, called 'Culture Connects us All', will be on display throughout March, April and May.
Portraits and stories of 12 local community members will be featured, celebrating the significant contributions they have made to the City of Melton. Through their involvement in local cultural groups, participation in community events, advocacy work and more, these people have helped make our City an inclusive, welcoming place where diversity is embraced and celebrated.
 
The oldest and most recognized symbol of Rotary by non-Rotarians globally, is undoubtedly the Rotary wheel. Its creation dates from 1905 when the first Rotary club was created in Chicago, USA.
The wheel was said to illustrate "Civilization, Movement and Service work in action."
Most of the early clubs had some form of wagon wheel on their publications and letterheadsm, but in 1922, it was decided that all Rotary clubs should adopt a single design as the exclusive emblem of Rotarians.
The design has evolved since then, with the most recent changes to form the current golden wheel, finalised in August 2013.
The 24 teeth represent the 24 hours of the day, and the time that each Rotarian should reflect Rotary in action and thought.
The six rays represent the essential qualities of a Rotarian in relation to their family, community, friendship, profession, religious tolerance, and the Rotary institution.
The golden colour represents the nobility and legitimacy of Rotary purposes.
