Tunkhannock High School Interact Club Presents Program

At the February 19, 2015 club meeting, the officers of the Tunkhannock High School Interact Club accompanied by advisor Tommasina Fiorillo presented a report about the various international projects in which they have been involved. The club has contributed to the following projects:

 

TOMS World Sight Day – fundraiser to sponsor eye exams

 

Stop Hunger Now – volunteered their time for a day of preparing packages of food and vitamins

Heifer International – raised $2,500 including generous donation from local business matched by Rotary to purchase a Gift Ark which includes two water buffalos, two cows, two sheep and two goats, along with bees, chicks, rabbits and more. Donating a Gift Ark helps a community by providing milk, eggs, honey and wool and helps sustain farming by providing livestock to work the land. A Gift Ark can improve the lives of families for generations.

 

Raised money for the Rotary International Polio Plus fundraiser at the Homecoming Bon Fire and during Parent-Teacher Conference days

Pulsera Project for Nicaraguan citizens – Interact Club members sold bracelets made by Nicaraguan citizens and return the money earned to Nicaragua.

 

TOMS One for One: One Day Without Shoes – The club is exploring the idea of adding the TOMS One for One: One Day without Shoes, perhaps in May.

 

The officers concluded their program by displaying several certificates recognizing their donations.
