Mitcham Rotary Reconciliation Week Concert

Published by Alex Makin on Sunday 1st of June, 2008

This afternoon I attended the Mitcham Rotary Club’s Reconciliation Week concert featuring singer and songwriter Archie Roach. Mitcham Rotary hosted the concert to fund Rotary Scholarships to train Indigenous medical professionals and also to raise money towards providing solar power for community centres in East Timor.

Archie Roach sang a number of his songs, including several that were included on the soundtrack to Liyarn Ngarn. The concert provided a further opportunity to reflect on Reconciliation Week and to hear the talent of Archie Roach live in a locally held concert.

Mitcham Rotary, and its president Sharon Partridge, need to be congratulated for hosting such a successful event and for raising funds for two extremely worthwhile causes.
