Rotary Club of Magill Sunrise Page | 1

We were honoured to have Susan Carew AKA the World Peace Clown visit our club on Tuesday to give us a

presentation on her work. Susan has travelled the world as a World Peace Clown conveying her message

through “clowning around” but with an enthusiasm and dedication that was very evident throughout the

presentation.

Susan was working as a research analyst when her life changed quite dramatically and she found her life

purpose when she travelled to Russia with Dr. Patch Adams and saw the link between clowning and peace.

She then studied Peace Studies at La Trobe University and won a Rotary scholarship to study Peace and

Conflict Studies in Bangkok, Thailand. She has since been invited by a wide range of organisations to be a key

note speaker and has conducted peace educational programs in primary schools and organisations. The

focus has been to train in conflict resolution, values, humour and peaceful behaviours with the intent of

facilitating harmony.

The highlight her career was a world trip in 2010 travelling to 20 countries in 6 months where she worked

on inner peace, clowning and explored different cultures.

Susan strongly believes that in order to achieve peace it requires us to first find peace within ourselves. This

requires us all to use the power of positive thinking to find peace within, then the outside changes. “Peace is

about connection between people. True peace is not achieved by legal treaties and political solutions”.

Thank you for coming out to our club Susan; you really are a passionate and dedicated person who through

“clowning around” continually strives to make our world a better place to live. I must admit I love being a

clown at the Christmas Pageant each year, if only just to see the smile on the kids faces as I skip by or do

something silly.

I would like to quickly mention that we seem to be having difficulty filling positions at the Shed BBQ and

Market BBQ stall each month and the people filling the roles seem to be the same people every time. These

2 monthly events are our fund raising bread and butter which we need to have running with continual

participation/volunteering of members, so if you can, please help out once in a while. I know we are all busy

but a few times a year is not going to hurt.

That’s all from me this week. See you all Sunday hopefully at the Market and if not there, Tuesday morning.


Australian History

1803 – Australia's first newspaper is printed.

2002 – The last commercial Ansett Airlines flight completes its run from Perth to Sydney.

World History

1770 – The Boston Massacre occurs, as British troops fire on American demonstrators.

1937 – The USA formally apologises to Nazi Germany for the New York mayor's reference to Hitler

as a "brown-shirted fanatic".

1946 – Winston Churchill first popularises the phrase 'Iron Curtain' in his famous oration prior to

the Cold War.

Thought for the Day 1: Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.

Thought for the Day 2: No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests

his head on his old, familiar pillow.

A reminder to everyone that our club has committed to assisting with the RYDA (Rotary Youth

Driver Awareness) day being held on the Thursday, 23rd May, starting around 9.30 am and

finishing around 2.30 at the Campbelltown Youth Centre, Botanic Grove Campbelltown, (just off

Lower North East Rd).

We need helpers, who can assist in the teachers and instructors, rounding the students up and

handing out fruit/water etc. for recess.

If you can help (you may be in need of some updated driving tips yourself), please get back to me.

Sue Hector

luck).

address.

Indochina.

• Greg, again for twisting his ankle while jogging (no pain no gain Greg).

to during the meeting.

Mary MacKillop College

February 2013

We live in a world today that continues to be ravaged by war, poverty and injustice. This

lack of peace is present everywhere in our society, leading people to ask themselves the

question of what we can possibly do to change this. Having attended the Rotary Peace

Forum, I was able to hear from a number of speakers who do not simply sit and ask

themselves this question – they act.

On Saturday the 23rd of February, I sat in the audience at the Forum speechless and in awe

at the extraordinary tasks being accomplished by ordinary people. I was particularly moved

listening to Lieutenant Governor of SA Hieu Van Le’s speech about his life before moving to

Australia, and how he suffered profusely at the hands of the Vietnam War. He spoke of

family members and friends disappearing and the struggles of everyday life. His speech

lead me to consider the trivial things we teenagers worry about every day. Common

examples are ‘How am I going to finish all my homework tonight?’, ‘What am I going to

wear this weekend?’ ‘Has anyone seen my phone charger?’. I began to ask myself how

these compare to the concerns of teenagers in war-ridden and poverty stricken countries

and instantly felt compelled to take action. But I was unsure as to what difference someone

as young as myself could possibly make.

At that moment, 26 year old Emily Haren took to the stage. She spoke about the Oaktree

Foundation, which involves a group of young people working together to end poverty

around the world. Emily told stories of how she travelled to Fiji to promote peace and about

a man she met there who was persecuted for simply stating what he believed in. I found it

incredible how such a young woman had done so much for peace and did not let her age

act as a barrier to achieving her goals. Emily also shared with us a quote that Steve Jobs

once said, “The ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the

ones who do”.

I would like to kindly thank the Rotary Club of Magill Sunrise for giving me the opportunity to

attend such a thought-provoking and motivating afternoon, and recommend it to those who

may have the opportunity to attend in later years.
