Our Interact Club has supported many great causes, and most of our inspiration from these comes from the Interact Conference. In this event that happened earlier this year on the 9th of May, we got to hear from many different charities and groups, that raised awareness for their cause and encouraged us to support them. This was a very educational experience and helped us to shortlist some charities and businesses that our club would want to support.
At the house of friendship this year, one of the things that really stuck with me was the therapy dog that a guide dog foundation had brought along with them. It was really cool to hear about and see examples of the training that these dogs get to do that we can actually help to fund. Being able to see what our money goes toward firsthand, opened up my eyes to how much of an impact all of us can make. It introduces our clubs to so many unique causes that we maybe wouldn't have heard of otherwise and allows us to personally communicate with these passionate individuals and groups so that we can make a difference together. I would like to thank rotary for organising this amazing event and I know that we are all looking forward to it next year.
