Last Weeks Speaker-Marika Mulqueen
Last week we had the pleasure of listening to Marika Mulqueen speak at our meeting.
Marika was thoroughly interesting dynamic and inspiring. Markita spoke on how in
2009
she attempted to ride the entire Tour De France route.
On average Markita said she rode 200km a day through extreme heat, snow, rain and strong wind. How she endured falls, punctures, dehydration, hunger, being completely and utterly lost and run-ins with the police.
We would like to thank Markita very much for her time and presentation.

Asylum Seeker Employment Project - Profiles
The Rotary Club of Albert Park
together with members from
Brigidine Asylum Seekers
Project
http://www.brigidineasp.org.au/
are working together on the
Asylum Seeker Employment Project.
The first
challenge facing new arrivals in Australia is to find a job. Another big challenge is to become known in the local community. These two challenges are connected. It is said that 80% of job vacancies are never advertised and that many jobs are filled through word of mouth or through networking. Networking is talking to people you know about jobs.
New arrivals in Australia don't have any networks, which are so important, especially in getting their first job. This is especially in the case of Asylum Seekers because their families, friends and people they worked with in the past are not in Australia.
In order to help them become better known locally the RCAP has offered to assist asylum seekers associated the Brigidine Asylum Seekers Project by placing profiles of individual asylum seekers on their web site for their members. It is hoped that some of these members may be able to assist some of you with your job search or perhaps with work experience opportunities in Australian workplaces.
Note: Below profiles may take a little longer than normal to open.
