Interact Clubs to donate books to Drop In Centre today

Nov 07, 2009 News

As the Rotary International observance of World Interact Week 2009 comes to an end, members of the Interact Clubs of Queen’s College, Bishops’ High School, Christ Church Secondary and St. Rose’s High, will be demonstrating how, as young people, they are committed to service.
This morning, they will be actively involved with Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Georgetown Central in a joint community service project at the Children’s Centre (more popularly known as the Drop In Centre) on Hadfield Street.
A statement from the Rotary Club yesterday said that the students from the four schools organized book drives, collecting books, and they will be donating these today to the Children Centre’s Library.
The activities which begin at 10.00 a.m. will include storytelling and interaction among the Interactors, Rotarians and the children from the Centre.
Rotary International and Rotarians worldwide this week have commemorated the charter of the first Interact Club in 1962.
“Interact is Rotary International’s service club for young people ages 14 to 18 and was formed when Rotary decided to tap the potential of young people.
It was intended that this would allow service among youth, foster their active interest in the community and offer opportunities for them to develop as leaders,” the statement said.
There are currently more than 10,700 clubs in 109 countries and geographical areas, with over 200,000 young people involved in Interact.
In Guyana, the Rotary Club of Georgetown Central has sponsored four school-based Interact clubs – those of Queen’s College, Bishops’ High, Christ Church and recently St Rose’s High.
