Eumundi Rotary Club recently enjoyed a special visit from Livia Williams, its very own “Karate Kid”. Joining her were Sensei Peter Zarb, along with Livia’s mother, brother and grandfather.
As Livia is non-verbal, Sensei Peter delivered a handwritten message on her behalf expressing her gratitude for the club’s support through its 3-year commitment to the Karate Community Sponsorship Program.
Livia has been practising karate since she was 5yrs old and is currently working towards achieving her black belt. In her message she shared how karate has positively impacted her life.
“Mum first signed me up so I could interact more with the community,” said Livia. “It’s hard for me to be around groups of people, so karate helps me interact with others in a safe environment. It also encourages me to leave the house and feel more comfortable being part of a group.”
Livia’s story is a wonderful example of how community support can make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
Anyone interested in supporting initiatives like these and making a positive impact in the local community is encouraged to consider joining Eumundi Rotary. The club meets every Thursday at the Eumundi QCWA Hall at 5.30pm for a 6.00pm start. Visit: eumundirotary.org.au. ... See MoreSee Less

Here in Australia, we have an incredible medical system to help women during childbirth: ambulances, medical professionals, midwives, neo-natal incubators, ICUs and pain-relief drugs.
Consider the situation in Kemabolo, a rural village east of PNG’s capital Port Moresby where none of these facilities or support networks exist. As a result, PNG faces one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the Pacific region.
To make a difference to women’s experience and baby’s survival, Friends of Kemabolo rallied together to prepare and pack Birthing Kits for this remote community.
Kilagi Nielsen, a Eumundi Rotary Club member from Kemabolo, described harrowing stories of the pain and suffering of women who experience the worst of childbirth: “These birthing kits are really going to make a difference. Thank you from my community for your care and love.”

What happens on the bus, stays on the bus. Not in the case of the weekly Maxi Taxi trips organised by Experience Eumundi for local residents no longer able to drive!
The Thursday morning shopping trips provide far more than transport. For many passengers they have far-reaching positive impacts on their lives. Simply looking forward to a morning out and catching up with friends is just the beginning. The prospect of selecting items from the shelves themselves, finding a bargain, or choosing alternative ingredients for basic meals, provides a sense of agency.
In a region such as ours with limited public transport, losing the ability to drive can significantly reduce freedom and increase isolation, particularly with health challenges. The result can be a growing sense of helplessness and hopelessness.
Funded through market parking revenue, Experience Eumundi hopes these weekly trips help participants maintain their confidence, self-esteem and independence. All the while staying connected to the community they helped shape and support throughout their lives, and which now offers them a helping hand in return.
