INTERACT
Due to your charitable contributions toward Interact fund raisers, the club managed to pay US$900 towards school fees for orphaned and vulnerable children at St Francis School.
Furthermore, Interact Club organized the donation of 113 books to Chitepo Secondary School in Marondera. The books were discarded from the two schools’ libraries, but were in very good condition. Two other schools will benefit from the book donation programme in due course.
