The Rotary Club of Ringwood meets on a weekly basis with guest speakers who discuss community organisations and causes.

Tonight’s speaker is a member of the Oaktree Foundation, an organisation established to empower young people through providing aid and assistance to reduce poverty and improve education within developing countries.

The Oaktree Foundation was formed in 2003 and has established itself within the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia. The foundation works in partnership with community organisations within six developing countries to assist in the delivery of education opportunities.

The Oaktree Foundation specifically involves younger people and encourages an interest in volunteering and a commitment to community causes.
