Mr ANOULACK CHANTHIVONG (Macquarie Fields—Minister for Better Regulation and Fair Trading, Minister for Industry and Trade, Minister for Innovation, Science and Technology, Minister for Building, and Minister for Corrections) — The Rotary Club of Ingleburn's Gifts of Hope drive continues to bring Christmas cheer to children and youth in our community impacted by disadvantage. What began in 2020 as a small initiative collecting 23 gifts is anticipated to collect over 600 this year, reaching 16 local schools – including public, private and special education schools. With the help of schools, community organisations, and generous individuals, volunteers will turn the Ingleburn RSL basement into Santa's workshop, wrapping gifts and delivering them in time for Christmas. These volunteers do this for nothing in return other than knowing that they have helped spread hope. This is an inspiring effort that reflects the Rotary spirit of service and community. Thank you to the Rotary Club of Ingleburn and to all the volunteers involved.
