Rotary Melbourne Peace Bells Project
In 1934, Rotary Park was established with the City of Melbourne adjacent to the Royal Botanic Gardens where trees are dedicated to Rotary leaders. Promoting Peace is one of Rotary’s 7 Areas of Focus. Rotary Melbourne has a long history of involvement in Peace Initiatives and has embarked on a Peace Bell Project in Rotary Park. In consult with the Traditional owners of this land, the Bunurong people, four bells have been commissioned to be built by Assoc Prof Neil McLachlan [Federation Bells, Birrarung Marr]. The renamed Rotary Melbourne Peace Park and will be officially opened during the RI Convention in May 2023. This initiative is supported by Lord Mayor Sally Capp, RI President Jennifer Jones, D9800 Governor Amanda Wendt, and the Royal Botanic Gardens. The Bells are selected as the legacy project for the 2023 Rotary International Convention, making it the first ever legacy project of a convention. Donations will support the construction and installation of the four Peace Bells.
Medical evacuation robots for Ukraine
The “Maul” Ground Robotic Complex is the first Ukrainian robot made specifically for medical evacuation. It was designed by the medics, who know exactly what is needed. Maul is fast, resilient, and built from 3.5 years of real ground experience. With speeds of up to 70 km/h, it can quickly reach an injured and bring them to safety even under constant threats. It is an all-terrain robot, which can evacuate the wounded even in places unreachable by other vehicles. The Maul is fitted with an armored capsule to protect the injured person inside. In situations when the rescue mission is too dangerous for the medics, they must face the impossible choice of either risking their own lives or giving up on rescuing the wounded. They don’t have to be put in this situation with Maul. Mauls are fully autonomous and don’t require a human driver inside, which means they protects the medics just as much as they protect those they rescue.

Missionhouse Participants BathRoom
All money raised will go towards a new bathroom for Missionhouse in the participants' wing. Missionhouse is a property owned by Missionheart. Its a place where those who want to change their lives and need support can go and stay for a season and receive the support they need to step away from addictions, domestic violence, overcome trauma, or get out of the cycle of homelessness. We do this through an established Christian community that welcomes those who are broken and lost and helps them to find freedom and wholeness, based on the foundation of the love of Jesus.
