Happy New Year everyone!
With Winter break wrapped up and a New Year beginning it's time to get back into the swing of things! Before the break we had a general meeting where our guest speaker, Alicia Doo, a Youth Programming Coordinator from Free the Children, came to do some activities with us and talk to us about something we take for granted here everyday. Access to H2O!! Alicia really got us to understand the importance of water and how we are all so lucky to have such an abundance of it here in Canada and how in many places in the world such as India, they have next to none. Alicia's visit got the club hyped up to make our Interact International Project to raise money for a water filtration system for the Richmond School Board sponsored school in Lai Gow, India a successful one! Thank you Alicia for your visit and thank you Matt Hoogveld for the initial suggestion for this project!
The McMath Interact Club is under the guidance as well as sponsored by the Rotary Club of Steveston. With over 70 students in our 2010-2011 year, the Interact Club has chosen 4 special projects: three in the local community and one international service. With the support of the administrator and teachers of McMath Secondary School and the members of the Rotary Club of Steveston, we hope to have another successful year.
