Rotary Informer: Michelle Kendall Michelle spoke about the
Rotary Club of Honolulu which has been around since 1915. They meet
regularly at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and have been instrumental in
making a number of changes to Rotary – including a redesign of the
‘wheel’ – back in 1923. They currently have over 200 members and
have sponsored some 10 other clubs, including the Esso Club in
Russia.
Michelle is hoping to visit the Rotary Club of Honolulu, when
the 3 Kendalls’ head there later this year.

GUEST SPEAKER TODAY: - Peter Warren Topic: Mukti Mission in
India
Peter is the current WA and NT Director for the Mukti Mission in
India. Founded by Pandita Ramabai in the late 1800’s it was created
to assist women and girls create lives for themselves that got them
out of the poverty cycle. The statistics about women and girls are
somewhat frightening: - Most of the world’s poor are – women and
children - 70% of all the world’ poor are – women and children -
One in 5 girls in developing countries don’t complete
Grade 6 - One third of girls in developing countries marry
before
they are 18, and one in 9 are married before they are 15. -
Girls living in poor households are almost twice as likely
to marry before 18 than girls in higher income families. - In
almost every case child brides are trapped in poverty. - Women work
two-thirds of all the working hours;
produce half of the world’s food and earn 10% of the world’s
income.
Pandita wanted something better for women and children so set up
Mukti because she believed that women should be given an equal
chance to get ahead in life. Today they provide facilities and
resources so that women who need it can be rescued from poverty or
oppression. They can engage in the many and varied educational
activities to restore their self worth; and then are supported to
be released back into their local community where they are
self-sufficient and can live confident and independent lives. If
interested in helping with this work, please contact Peter.
