Join us for an inside look at the work Australian Rotarians have been doing to eliminate malaria in the Western Pacific Rim.  Their story of remarkable successes in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Indonesia and East Timor exemplifies the effectiveness of sustained Rotarian service above self.  In addition, Rotarians Dai Mason and Tony Springer will tempt us with the attractions of the 2023 Rotary International Convention in Melbourne, Australia. 

Australian Rotarians have been active in fighting Malaria in their neighbouring countries since the 1990s. In 2019 the Global Fund and Rotary Australia World Community Service – Rotarians Against Malaria formed a partnership to raise US$12 million for Malaria elimination in Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Timor Leste.  The campaign branding is “Finish-the-Fight”.  Dai and Tony will bring that campaign to life for us with their presentation.

In 2018 the First World Congress on Malaria was held in Melbourne over a 5-day intensive program. In order to highlight the cause for Malaria elimination, Dai conceived the idea that a 2-day Congress on Malaria, just prior to the Rotary International Convention in Melbourne 2023, was essential. This will allow Rotarians and Non-Rotarians to be informed on the latest programs for the elimination of Malaria. Tony will bring us up to date with the programming of that event as well as the delights offered by the Melbourne R.I. Convention.
