Leadership Academy and GHS Interactors - Rotary Youth Leadership Awards Report

 

It was fun, it was an experience, it was a learning opportunity were words echoed by Jeffereson Thomas, Celine Ferguson and Le'Andrea Mackey. These three (3) individuals were selected from the Interact club of Government High School and Interact Club of The Leadership Academy to represent the Bahamas at this year' s District 6930 Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) held in Orlando, FL. As they discovered while attending, there were Interactors from around the world that  became a family within the five (5) days spent at camp. Jefferson who traveled for the first time away from his family had an experience of a life time. He got the opportunity to meet many friends and learn of their personal life, they then became more connected and accepted as brothers and sisters. For Le'Andra and Celine who were the more adventurous duo, found themselves involved with activities that kept them busy throughout the camp and learned important skills.

 

As Rotarians listened attentively to the reports given, they showed a slide show of the activities and new friends that they met while attending camp. They all give thanks to the club for selecting them to represent and would encourage others who will attend in the future to accept the opportunity.
