Waibogi Village Primary School Service to the Community
The Geelong Rotary Club is very involved in both the local community and in third world overseas countries.
In conjunction with Barwon Health, Karingal and Gordon Technical College, we have completed a Health Centre in North-East Sri Lanka.
In addition to this, our Club is involved in these activites:

the water supply to Dreketi, a village in Fiji, has being upgraded;

a process is underway rebuilding a village devastated by cyclone Guba in Oro Province Papua New Guinea. A portable saw mill has been donated to help them rebuild.

In May last year, school desks, chairs, filing cabinets, computers and books were supplied to the Waibogi Village Primary School in Fiji.

environmental bursaries are being provided to several local schools

working with local kindergartens to improve their play grounds

The Old Geelong Gaol
The Club manages the Old Geelong Gaol as a major tourist attraction in Geelong. The Gaol is open Saturday and Sunday to visitors. All money raised is used to support the club's community service activities both locally and overseas.

McKellar Centre The McKellar Centre
This is a new project which is setting about restoring an older building into 2 self-contained 1 and 2 bedroom units. These units will be available for short periods of time to relatives of patients who are undergoing rehabilitation or are in permanent care. Once completed these units will be handed over to Barwon Health for future management.

Golf Day
In May each year the Club organizes a full day golf tournament which includes a lunch and auction. This project is well supported by local business and all proceeds are handed over to United Way for distribution to local charities and also to the Barwon Health Foundation.

Rotary District 9780 Donations in Kind
Rotary District 9780 Donations in kind collects surplus and used book, clothes, crockery, hospital furniture and equipment and computers, then supplies them on request from our near neighbours in need. The Rotary Club of Geelong is a major supporter of this activity.
