The Rotary Club of Kalibo (RCK) celebrates World Interact Week with the first ever Rotary Interact Awareness, Leadership and Team Building Seminar/workshop held November 12, 2005 at the Rotary Livelihood and Training Center, Andagao, Kalibo, Aklan. The three (3) Interact Clubs include the Regional Science High School, Region VI, Aklan National High School for Arts and Trades (formerly Nalook High School) and Madyaas Institute Interact Clubs participated in the said affair.
Immediate Spouse President of the RCK Spouses Association, Methuselah “Bing” Santamaria amused the participants with her Team Building topic; PADG and Secretary Niovady “Vady” Marin shared his technique on Leadership the Rotary Way, and PP/Assistant Governor for Zone IV, District 3850 Leonardo “Raphy” Tayco, Jr. talked about Rotary Interact Awareness.
Interact is Rotary International’s service club for young people ages 14 – 18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs, which provide support and guidance. On the other hand, Interact clubs are self-governing and self-supporting. It can be a community and or school based club.
Each year, Interact clubs complete at least two community service projects, one of which promotes international understanding and goodwill. Through projects, Interactors develop a network of friendships with local and overseas clubs. And, in the process, Interactors develop leadership skills and learn the value of hard work. /MPmailto:april_73uk@yahoo.co.uk
