Some photo's of our loverly volunteers afternoon tea. We'd like to acknowledge the generous contributions all the wonderful volunteers Milpara has. They work hard and without the strong backbone of volunteers we have Milpara wouldn't be able to do all the things we do. So big thank to all of our volunteers.
Don't forget to book your place for the Food Safety and First Aid courses coming up in June.
Do you fix things? Is Korumburra ready for a Repair Cafe?
When I was young, I remember watching my grandfather’s tinker in theirs sheds; things went in not working or broken, after some maintenance or repairs they often would come out ready to go again. Both of my Nan’s had sewing boxes with buttons, zips, and cottons ready for darning, a quick mend or alteration. Not much was discarded before someone had at least tried to give it a second chance.
Now days many things end up in landfill, even though with a little know how they may be easily repaired. Many of us just lack the knowledge to fix, mend or repair things independently.
This has sparked a new movement of Repair Cafés. First, starting in the Netherlands in 2007, the idea is taking off and there are now over 1500 Repair Café’s globally.
So what is a Repair Café? It is a place visitors can bring their broken item from home and sit down with a volunteer fixer. It provides an opportunity for valuable knowledge to be passed on, connections to be made and of course reduce our ever-increasing landfill. Repair cafés are a free service with donations welcome and often held on a Saturday or Sunday monthly.Milpara is interested to gauge if this is something our community would get behind. Would you be interested in attending a Repair Café? Would you be interested in being a volunteer fixer? I would love your feedback! You can give me, Belinda a call at Milpara on 56552524 or milpara@outlook.com.
Thank you also to Mend It, Australia who have been so approachable and already provided their time in answering loads of questions and providing advice on how Repair Cafe's and their like work.
Italian classes at Leongatha's community house.
Bringing people together - Italian classes starting on 21st May at 1.00pm. $10 per session.
This is what we do:
(a) 2 separate occasions and 2 separate people asking me whether the Community House offered Italian classes. "No", said I, "sorry".
(b) a woman came to see me for help to get the $50 Power Saving Bonus from the Victorian Government. I talked with her! Her first language is Italian, and she used to teach Italian.
(c) I arranged for the 2 interested-in-Italian people to meet the Italian-teacher.
(d) There is now a weekly Italian class at the Leongatha Community House.Bringing people together around shared interests; mutual learning; building relationships; building resilience.
It's what we do :-)
