Every now and again you come across a Rotary project that stands out as exceptional. Today we visited the YES ability achievement Centre where we shown a 3 level modern building which cost some $4.1 million to construct. The complex houses The Yes ability achievement Centre along with a dozen or so other tenants who are in the main in allied fields....such as epilepsy, mobile dog training for assistance to the visibly impaired, alcohol and drug rehab centre and so on. Rotary provided the vision and a fair slice of the funds with added monies raised from generous Corporate and individual benefactors.
The partnership with the Disability folk and Rotary is run within the ambit of a Trust deed and the ongoing success of this venture is a testament to the vision and dedication of all involved.
In a nutshell they provide community based resources and services to disabled persons within a one stop complex.
Truly inspirational and something that Paul Harris would have been proud of.
