Whether sea level rise is now for Naiviivi village or not - it soon will have a greater impact. 'Low lying' it certainly is.

Indeed timely that we install new wiring to the teachers' home. There is not much point in putting in a quality solar power plant without ensuring it can be safely delivered to the users. This wiring installed a veryyyyy long time ago.

This is a video taken at another school, but the situation is the same at Naiviivi and often other school we encounter. Albeit, the small school solar at Naiviivi (when it was working) was designed to supply 240V lights and a powerpoint. The examples in the video are the same as in the Naviivi teachers' homes where the batteries have failed or are failing.

It may not look so glamorous, but Clenergy mounts, Jinko solar panels and a pallet of Victron inverter (thanks DPA Solar for the quick turn around on the inverters) are on their way to their new home in Fiji giving a whole bunch of kids the opportunity of a modern education and saving some CO2 emissions as well. And as usual thanks to the Cosco team for your professionalism and patience.

The Wollongong community have been very supportive and the group will be sending this week 2 crates of summer clothes to the Op Shop along with the kits. Amanda Hay, the Events Manager of the United Communities Group will be a guest speaker at our meeting soon.

Last week we conducted two clean-ups, Thursday was a local clean-up at the Corrimal ANZAC Grove Memorial Park where 3.5 full bags were collected, plus fencing, a large tarp and other assorted items. We went to Corrimal Beach for our Saturday clean-up. The morning started with a bit of rain, but it cleared away quickly for a nice day and lots of rubbish collected. This week we have a Thursday clean-up at Primbee and a Saturday clean-up at Bellambi Lagoon. Dilys, the numbers person, told me that we have collected over 60 large bags of rubbish so far this year, as well as lots of other items too big to fit into bags - well done team, great effort.

60 trees for 60 years On Friday, 23rd October the Rotary Club of Corrimal undertook a small tree and shrub planting project at Cawley Park, Russell Vale. As part of our 60th year celebrations we decided to help the planet by planting trees, shrubs, or groundcovers. 8 members of the club and 2 council employees enjoyed planting 3 cabbage tree palms and about 145 native shrubs & grasses.
