Chatelech Interact Club
Interim Report
Please find the ChatelechInteract Interim Report below. The report summarizes the club’s progress from September 2017 to January 2018, our goals for the remainder of the year as well as our identified milestones for the year.
 
Chatelech Interact Club has completed two community projects and one international project so far, this school year. Both our community projects involve fundraising for disaster relief and community enhancements. Our future projects goals include donating to a significant international cause and focusing more time for service to the school.
 
I trust this report meets your expectations. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours Sincerely,
Isurika Bandara
President, Chatelech Interact Club
