Children's Ward Murals Project - Box Hill Hospital
Despite the Covid pandemic thwarting our ability to raise much needed funds for our local community, Rotary Box Hill Burwood has been able to support the brightening of the walls of the Children's Ward of Eastern Health's Box Hill Hospital.
In 2021 we started the process of contracting a group of talented local artists to make a difference to the environment and lives of the young patients and staff by painting vibrant murals on the walls of the ward . The project was to be funded by our Annual Whitehorse Art Show in 2021 but Covid stepped in to cancel the show, however despite the hiccup we were still able to ensure this project went ahead.
Although the project is still being completed we are already receiving such incredible comments from staff , patients and families. We look forward to seeing the completed mural and know this will bring years of joy to all.
Bizzi Kidz Care Pack Project
The last few years have been tough for all but especially for our youngest members of society, they have missed out on the most important formative educational and social start to life.
Missing out on 3 and 4 year old kindergarten and having to deal with online learning in their first years of school has given them a less than optimal start to their education.
Rotary Box Hill Burwood saw an opportunity to put a smile on the faces of children in Prep, Grade 1 and Grade 2 at some of our local primary schools who had missed out but also an opportunity to encourage them to care for our planet and so we created the Bizzi Kidz Environmental Care Pack which was distributed to over 350 primary school children aged between 5 and 8. We were also able to provide schools with over 85 free plants to improve their environment.
Each kit contained
- 12 pack of coloured pencils
- seed packet
- terracotta pot
- craft activity kit
- Environmental activity book
- seed growth chart
- and other items
We thank our sponsors, members and supporters for helping us make a difference
