Restoring the lives of men, women and families(https://www.shalomhouse.com.au/) Shalom House is a men’s residential rehabilitation centre located in the heart of the Swan Valley in Perth. Phil has been a Shalom House resident for two years, and volunteers as the PA to the Chief of Staff. Phil was a very successful hospitality manager of fine dining restaurants such as Jacksons and Clarks, but it’s an industry rife with drugs. Fortunately, after two years at Shalom House he can now spend his weekends with his three young sons and continue the reconciliation process with their mother. Shalom House is known to be the strictest rehabilitation centre in Australia. With its no-nonsense approach, many non-negotiable boundaries and strict rules for the residents to abide by, Shalom House ensures they all move through the program as fast as possible while at the same time making sure they receive as much from the program as possible. Most of the residents are methamphetamine addicts whose family life has been destroyed by their addiction. Shalom House only works with those that are fully committed to going ‘cold turkey’, with the support of psychiatrists and medical practitioners, so they can be restored to their families. The program has an emphasis on Fellowship and Discipleship, and has a very strong Christian basis. Unfortunately the City of Swan spent millions of dollars in recent years trying to shut down Shalom’s operations, but good sense prevailed when they finally lost their case at the State Administrative Tribunal. |
He also welcomed Peter McEwen back from his scoping visit to Nepal and his meetings there about setting up an AMR project with the Rotary Club of Kasthamanadap, and the Nepal Medical College Teaching Hospital. According to Peter this augurs well for a successful Global Grant application to enable work to start in April 2020.
