Wayne Jenkins from the Rotary Club of Mt Martha has been appointed to the new role of District RORP Champion.
RORP is Rotary Overseas Recycled Playgrounds and is involved in removing playgrounds within the District and shipping them to Rotary Clubs in countries such Sri Lanka, Timor Leste, Tanzania and soon to be in Nepal and the Philippines. The playgrounds are then re-assembled and used by children that would not have had the opportunity to use such equipment.
The Program commenced in 2017 by the Rotary Club of Kensington / Flemington and was adapted by Wayne, who has been leading this program in the Peninsula Cluster where they have relocated 6 of the 30 playgrounds to date from Councils, Schools etc, repaired them and transported overseas, using 'Donations In Kind' (DIK).
Wayne and his team have developed great systems, techniques, structure and equipment needed for rolling the program out for the whole District.
This is a ready made International project for Clubs. Wayne is available to speak at Club Zoom meetings and to share the process and the program. He can be contacted by email at: wayne.jenkins10@gmail.com
