The Rotary Club of Uitenhage South were recently delighted to charter a new Interact club based at Limekhaya High School in Langa and induct its first president.
The charter members of the new club were encouraged by their principal to make initial contact with Rotary and the formation of the club went from there.
As a fundraiser, the members were invited to cater for the Rotary club and guests at their weekly meeting, which they did enthusiastically, producing what they like to cook at home. Clive Hassell, the president of the Rotary Club, congratulated the learners and inducted Sihle Busakwe as their first president.
Interact is the junior section of Rotary, with 343 000 members belonging to 14 910 clubs in 145 countries throughout the world.
Interact is a club for youth ages 12 to 18 who want to connect with others in their community or school to work together in a world fellowship dedicated to service and international understanding.
“The idea is that Interact club members have fun while carrying out service projects and learning about the world. They organise at least two service projects a year: one that benefits their community and one that encourages international understanding,” explained Hassell.
