Brett Lee at the Rotary Convention, Sydney
Brett Lee spoke about his Mewsic India Foundation to 20,000 Rotarians at the Rotary Convention 2014, Sydney on 2nd June 2014, winning the hearts of the delegates from around the world with tales of his Rotary-supported projects.
Rotary currently supports two Mewsic programs - Music Therapy with Cancer Patients (thanks to Rotary Club of Nariman Point) and the Jaipur Mewsic Bus (thanks to Rotary Club of Castle Hill & South Jaipur).
A major attraction of the session was when interviewee radio host Jason Morrison decided to take a ‘selfie’ of Brett on stage with the 20,000 Rotarians cheering in the background. This picture when viral on twitter after Brett tweeted it to his nearly 2million followers – most of whom are from India.
Brett Lee felt privileged to speak in front of the Rotarians from across the world about his foundation and how grateful he was to them for their ongoing support.With a passion for music, Brett spoke about how Mewsic can heal, educate and empower children - the three visions of the foundation.
“After visiting India for the past 20 years, I knew I couldn’t keep going to this beautiful country and not give back something.” Said Brett Lee. "If I can achieve my dream," he said, "hopefully the children can achieve theirs."
In the coming years, Lee is aiming to start 100 centers in India and expand to Australia
