Champions of Morwell

http://morwellnh.org.au/champions-of-morwell/

Morwell Neighbourhood House is focusing on the unsung heroes of our community.  We have a launched a ‘Champions of Morwell’ Campaign. 

We are asking the community to help us identify the true heroes of Morwell.  The anonymous people who are making a difference on a local level.  The person, people and groups who are making a significant but unrecognised contribution to our community.  The volunteer, the worker, your friends, and your family, we all know someone who goes above and beyond for their community.  We want to let them know that it all makes a difference.

Morwell Neighbourhood House will be sending THANK YOU cards to those who the community identifies to us.  So far we have sent out 35 cards.  We know there are far more unsung heroes in Morwell then that and we need your help to identify them all.  You can call us on 51345488 or email us.  We only need a name and postal address.  Thank-you.

Jackos send off RIP

On Friday the 20th of June 2014 Jack Brian Nankervis was tragically murdered..  Jack was a loving caring man. A son, a brothers, a father and a friend. In his 23 years of life Jack touched many many people’s life.  Jacks funeral was quoted at $10,000 for a basic service.  The $5000 is needed as a deposit.  We would never ask for handouts, but this was our last resort.  Thank you advance for your kindness and generosity.

The Nankervis family needs support. You can support by contributing to the funeral costs. Click image to provide support.

Your Journey Through the Smoke Workshop

Morwell’s Mine Fire experience was an event shared throughout the community.  It was also a significant event individually, for everyone involved, with each person’s account a worthy story in its own right.  The challenges of the fire and smoke produced a range of emotions, questions and unforgettable experiences.  We are holding a series of facilitated workshops to allow community residents in Morwell & surrounds to tell the story of their personal journey through the mine fire.

These workshop will assists the community to reflect on their experience and to be more aware of the feelings they have about the emergency.  This is an important opportunity the community needs as it faces the path to recovery.  The workshops will be opt in and out as you like.  We will offer a variety of means for participants to express themselves and tell their personal stories of their journey through the mine fire.  Ideas include photo collage of pics taken before/ during / after.  Poetry writing, story writing, power point, interviewing, verbal presentation & even recording.  Come along and share your story. Bring a friend. Mon 14/7 –15/8 12pm – 3pm
