Interact is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young people ages 14-18, which gives young people an opportunity to participate in fun, meaningful service projects while developing leadership skills and the opportunity to meet new friends. Through service activities, Interactors learn the importance of: • Developing leadership skills and personal integrity; • Demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others; and • Advancing international understanding and goodwill.

To all Interact Clubs, Interactors and Interact Advisors:
As an orphan, living in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic, you learn not to expect too much from life.Each day is an adventure and at the same time somewhat predictable.
What do you say, we add some spice to the holiday season for 150 orphans at the Armando Rosenberg Home and School in Santo Domingo.We need several Interact Clubs to adopt 25 – 50 orphans each and provide about $5.00 worth of small (very small) gifts to age specific children.
Each year Rotary District 7640 sends a large container to the orphanage with food, clothing and other supplies. This year we are inviting our Interact Clubs to become involved in supplying a little joy to our little people in the Caribbean.
Please discuss this with your club and act quickly. Our deadline is only weeks away.
