We chopped wood for the fireplace

Earlier this week, we proudly delivered 100 MOM Packs to the Institute for Urban Indigenous Health (IUIH), each carefully packed with essential sanitary and hygiene items to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families across South East Queensland. This project holds deep meaning for us as a club. At its core, community service is about recognising where we can support others with empathy and action – even in small, practical ways. Each pack represents our commitment to supporting the health and wellbeing of individuals in ways that are thoughtful, meaningful, and grounded in care. The Institute for Urban Indigenous Health is a regional not-for-profit Community Controlled Health Service that delivers health, wellbeing, and social support services across the region in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community health organisations. Their work is grounded in respect, cultural strength, and discipline – values we deeply admire and are proud to support. This initiative embodies the true spirit of "Service Above Self" – dedicating our time, effort, and care to respond meaningfully to the needs of our broader community. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to IUIH’s incredible mission. A special thank you to Past President and Rotaract Advisor, Nim Prasad, from the Rotary Club of Brisbane International, for your ongoing guidance and assisting us with this meaningful project. Swipe to see some behind-the-scenes moments from our packing session, powered by teamwork and heart. 🙌

I told some church friends I’d been picking up trash along the shore. They said, “No need—the waves will wash it away.” But I shared the truth: that trash breaks down, fish mistake it for food, sea plants suffer, and the whole ocean ecosystem pays the price. In the end, they understood. We all went out together to clean and gather seaweed, and we socialized.

Attended one sex education talk on safe sex practices

I attended the cookie decorating in girls week and connected and got to know others in my year group but also others from the older years!

I attended the 4 sex ed talks and learnt a lot

I recently moved to Geoje, South Korea, and was shocked to find so much trash along the shore. It’s heartbreaking to see such a beautiful beach trashed like this. I've decided to clean it up bit by bit every day till it is all clean around here. It makes me so angry that people can be so careless with nature."

My flat did bush care for 2 hours

It was so refreshing to see that there was so little rubbish on the beaches or in the waters of the Whitsundays. I did pick up this Australia shaped piece of plastic though in beautiful Butterfly Bay. I’m in a shirt as I didn’t have a stinger suit. Every little action counts!

Start of our Whitsundays boating trip. I removed numerous Glycine vines from the charter company garden. An employee was very happy with what I did. He mentioned that invasive vines are a huge problem on the islands 😢

Sunday April 22 I finished off removing the Glycine vine along the fence line of the Biobasin. Removed as much as I could by the roots, cut what remained.

I attended 3 she week activities, to connect with each other.

This morning, our flat had bushcare with Jack. We helped remove weeds and clean up the bush.

This morning our flat had Bushcare with Jack. It was interesting to learn about the differrent weeds surrounding the bush in the areas by the river.

Today we went down to the bush behind kings with pickaxes. We used our pickaxes to take out the weeds because this is what Jack told us to do with our pickaxes. Jack was a great guy.

Attended the sex ed talks and bushcare

I attended multiple talks on sexual education. The talks discussed a lot of important topics which can benefit everyone in the future. It was a very beneficial wellbeing initiative and taught me a lot.

Bushcare! We helped Jack clean up the riverbank area chop down a tree :)

Helped out with plucking weeds from the local greenery around kings, assisting a local Brisbane City Council volunteer member. I also attended 4 of the sex ed talks discussing safe sexual practices and and learning about pleasure in different people.
