Projecting in the Pacific - tell us about it!

Rotary clubs from the six New Zealand-based districts often have projects in the Pacific that make a massive difference to the lives of many ... but are you telling your stories and doing your project, sponsors and beneficiaries justice?  Remember that a well publicised project is in fact establishing your credibility for the next project, whenever that may be.

So send us a few lines or a full article or even just a "heads-up" that the project is happening and we can provide some guidance about promoting your project.  Don't forget the close up, action pictures to bring everything to life making it so very meaningful.  Do this by emailing berylrobinson@rotarydownunder.co.nz especially if:
  • you are a SW Pacific Islands club with a project
  • you are a club supporting a Rotary project in the SW Pacific (with or without partnering a SW Pacific Island club)
  • are a district World Community Service Committee who have become aware of a project in the SW Pacific - let us know and we will take it from there
  • are a Rotary Foundation Committee who have become aware of a project in the SW Pacific - maybe you have been approached by a club for a Grant (DDF or Matching) - let us know and ask them as part of their receiving a grant to undertake good publicity of the project including an article for Rotary Down Under
  • there are many SW Pacific projects supported by clubs from around the world so these clubs, whether from Canada, USA, Europe and afar, can also send us publicity.
NB: the SW Pacific are the Pacific islands/nations of Rotary Zones 7B & 8 - go to page 4 of any Rotary Down Under magazine for a map (or page 4 of the on-line magazine at http://www.rotarydownunder.org/ )
