Drop-In Centre gets books from Interact Clubs

Nov 08, 2009 News

Children of the Drop-In Centre received several boxes of books yesterday, thanks to the initiative of a number of Interact Clubs of top Georgetown schools.
Receiving the donation, on behalf of the centre was Caregiver, Veronica Pearce, who said that the books which ranged from novels to storybooks, will go a long way for the recipients.
The students also read to the several residents from some of the books.
The Interact Clubs were from Queen’s College, Bishops’ High School, Christ Church Secondary and St. Rose’s High.
Last week, Rotary International observed World Interact Week 2009.
Also present yesterday at the Hadfield Street facility were Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Georgetown Central who had collaborated with the Interact Clubs for the initiative.
The Drop-In Centre, which falls under the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security, is home to more than 50 children, many of them orphans. A few come from broken homes.
Interact Clubs are Rotary International’s service clubs for young people aged 14 to 18 years and were formed when Rotary decided to tap into the potential of young people. It was intended that this would allow service among youth, foster their active interest in the community and offer opportunities for them to develop as leaders,” the statement said.
There are currently more than 10,700 clubs in 109 countries and geographical areas, with over 200,000 young people involved in Interact. In Guyana, the Rotary Club of Georgetown Central has sponsored four school-based Interact clubs – those of Queen’s College, Bishops’ High, Christ Church and recently St Rose’s High.
