Engaging Rotary with Interact

Despite not being a full-on member of the Interact Club at my school KISU, I have taken part in some of the activities carried out by the Club. On Saturday 12th of October, I enlisted as one of the Interactors and we went to Kasangati, an area under Rotary Club of Kasangati (the mother club of Interact in Kisu). Our particular job as soon as we arrived at the destination was to separate a bunch of second hand clothes and shoes, which we progressed to sell, in an effort  to raise money for the community needs. Simultaneously, there was a health drive running and we administered vaccinations to children and mothers. It was a long and tiring day as I bargained with buyers for the price of items and the towering sun did not improve the conditions, however at the end of the day I felt satisfied that I was able to have a little impact in the community through the funds we raised. It was a new experience to work and see the results so clearly, and since I was also given responsibility to count the money and it was a good experience to understand how the money would impact the community and their health. Overall, I was pleased with the long day of hard work and starting the second term I will be fully committed to the Interact Club and carry out more activities.
