Country of Study - Ukraine 🇺🇦
The Tryzub (Trident) is the official National Emblem of Ukraine, featuring a golden trident on a blue shield. Formally adopted 19 February 1992. It symbolises unity, freedom, and historical continuity.

The Tryzub originates in the 10th-century Kyivan Rus' era, where it served as a dynastic emblem. It was used by Prince Volodymyr the Great on coins. It was banned under Soviet rule.

Significance: Today, it serves as a powerful symbol of Ukrainian resilience and resistance against the Russian invasion, frequently appearing in tattoos, jewelry, and modern art.

This National Volunteer Week (18–24 May), we’re celebrating something uniquely CWA of WA, the power of contribution.

Across Western Australia, our members don’t just “volunteer.” They belong, they show up and they make a difference in ways that strengthen entire communities.

In the CWA, contribution looks like:
💙 organising local events
💙 advocating for change
💙 sharing skills and wisdom
💙 fundraising for those in need
💙 being a steady, caring presence in their town/community

Members don’t join the CWA to “be a volunteer.” They join because they care and that care becomes action.

This National Volunteer Week we honour every member who gives her time, voice, skills or support in a way that fits her life.

Thank you for contributing. Thank you for caring. Thank you for being part of CWA of WA.

Country of Study - Ukraine 🇺🇦
At Mezhyrich in Ukraine, Ice Age communities constructed dwellings from hundreds of mammoth bones and tusks - structures believed to have been used for roughly 400 years as shelter against extreme cold.

Among the site’s most remarkable discoveries is the “Mezhyrich map,” a 15,000-year-old engraving on a mammoth tusk. Considered one of the earliest known maps to mankind, it is thought to depict a riverside settlement, offering a rare glimpse into how these early people understood and represented their surrounding landscape.

Big shout out and Thank you to the Shire of Capel staff for organising and fitting our new CWA sign that is out the front of our Capel Senior Citizens/CWA Centre.
It was such a surprise to discover first thing this morning when setting up for our ~ Market Day ~

After loosing our original CWA Restrooms in 2017 that was on Proper-john street Capel, where now just a plaque on site is left to remind us.
We feel at home 🏠 now and finally have a place of identity.
