Words from Vice
President - Joyce Siu Happy New Year! It is a privilege to write the Vice President’s Message on our 2nd quarterly newsletter. While you are planning for your new start of 2006, the club has been exerting all its best effort on completing part of its meaningful projects. Looking back on the past half year, the Rotaract club of Macau had elaborated a plan of activities which involved all the four avenues of service, like the Goodwill Ambassador to Australia, Visit to Guangxi schools, Asia Pacific Regional Rotaract Conference (APPRC) to Taiwan, the Macau Camp, Shooting Competition, etc. As the Vice President of the club this year, I’m so glad to witness the step-by-step achievement of our goal and the success of each project. I believe “Team Spirit” is the ultimate source of a club’s success. And we got it!
Yours ever in
Rotaract,

from Vice President - Sam Ip 新的一年由過去一年開始，一年又一年，一年又如何開始？我們來談跨年。 小時候與家人一邊看電視一邊倒數跨年、大前年跟朋友三五成群拿着酒瓶喝得酩酊大醉擁在一塊倒數跨年、前年在自己開的coffee shop一邊與伙伴並肩應付洶湧而至的人潮一邊跨年……，每個人都有自己的跨年大事年表，雖不盡相同，但也很難稱得上難忘。2005年的一頭一尾，扶青的團員們與我卻多了兩個別人不一定有的體驗。 2004年12月26日南亞水災撼動全球，一夕間頓若世界末日，人們又再一次從地球身上學會自己的渺小，各國紛起捐助、救災！威斯汀酒店與澳門扶輪社合作舉行八又二分一賑災大行動，向澳門市民募捐物資送到災區，百多名市民和我們一起在剛落成的塔石體育館沒日沒夜的處理堆積如山的物資，直到12月31日的23:59分，我們帶着前所未有的虛脫身軀以及滾燙的熱情迎接2005，這當中有許多辭掉約會的年青朋友，他們總可以選擇在K場又或者擁着情人在海邊倒數，但他們卻選擇這條刮着寒風又要做體力勞動的橫街！沒人能夠想像與這些人一起倒數有多麼的痛快！ 2005年12月29日，經過近十二小時的長途車程，我們再一次踏足廣西貧瘠地區──都安。整個行程不用多說，大家看看下面的報導就會知道。這個跨年，我們一團人經過在實驗中學「緊張刺激的跨年晚會」後，一如去年拖着快要跛掉的雙腿在都安夜市跨年，大伙圍圈唱歌，哄動好幾條街，而最讓我難忘的卻是被我們拖着一起唱歌的統戰部長，她平時摳謹的臉板突然變了樣（可能飲大兩杯），忘情的「豪笑」活像昨天的山區小孩！這個晚上我又見到了一個人的「真」。 很多人將自己對社會、對地球的責任視為負擔，但我們這群人卻甘之如飴，施予的同時不忘歡笑，亦不忘為自己的人生添上燦爛的色彩。希望未來的日子也能與大家一起，就算窮川陋巷，只要生命有意義，身旁有笑聲，也一樣使人羨慕。

GWA Sydney, Australia - Luke Lei
“ In just a week’s time, we (a group of 10- Joyce, Miranda, Luke, William, Stephen, Teresa, Carita and I) have enriched our lives that are filled with happiness and lots of nice people. We’ve achieved our goals of broadening our members and ambassadors’ vision through cultural exchange like attending a Citizenship Ceremony & visiting the Opera House. In reverse, we’ve enriched some Aussie minorities and youngster’s life through participating in a District Community Service Program and raising fund for them. Lastly and most importantly, but not the least, we have made lots of friends that make this trip an unforgettable journey to me!” - Raymond Lo, President 2005-2006 One of the most important activities of the International Services of Rotaract Club of Macau, Goodwill Ambassador 2005 was held again last month aimed for cultural exchange and Macau promotion in Sydney, Australia.

Day 4 (24 Oct) When talking about Sydney, everybody must have a thought of Kangaroos and Koalas, the national animals of Sydney. In the morning time, we had a chance to visit the Koala Park at Castle Hill. In there, we spent a great time with lots of famous Australian animals: Kangaroos, Koalas, Wombat, Echidna, etc. At night, it was really our honor to be invited to join the Citizenship Dinner Meeting of Rotary Club of Sydney CBD (Central Business District). Such a warm and touching moment was made that 11 of new Australia Citizens was affirmed by Australian Citizen, at the meeting.
" As an Australian citizen, I affirm my loyalty
to Australia and its people, whose democratic beliefs I share, whose rights
and liberties I respect, and whose laws I uphold and obey.”
