Jennifer Wu, a long-term worker at The Deli Women and Children's Centre has been recognised for her dedication to women and children in need within our community.
Simon Van Wyk, President of the Rotary Club of Botany Randwick, presented Jennifer with a Paul Harris Fellow in recognition of her 20 years of service at “The Deli”.
Jennifer has provided a vital lifeline to women navigating the complexities of parenting after experiencing domestic and family violence. She has assisted women in these circumstances by
- holding sessions on how to communicate with their children, what language to use, how to hold child centred conversations and how to repair fracture trust
- Providing guidance on how to support their children emotionally
- Restoring their sense of authority and the importance of safe, predictive parenting
- Providing a safe and non-judgmental space for mothers to negotiate an increase in adolescent to parent violence
- Managing emotional dysregulation in children.
Rotarians often designate a Paul Harris Fellow, named after our founder, Paul Harris, as a tribute to a person whose life demonstrates a shared purpose with the objectives of Rotary, and builds world understanding and peace. It is a well recognised and prestigious award, given to those who have made a sustained and positive impact on their community. Jennifer is a very deserving recipient!
The Rotary Club of Botany Randwick, and previously the Randwick Club, have been proudly supporting The Deli for over 20 years.
