“The reason we chose these schools is because each school has an interact club, which is a branch of Rotary for children between 12 and 18.
“This club is then sponsored by a Rotary club, in this instance the Rotary Club of Benoni sponsors a club at both Willowmoore and Liverpool.
“The also host fund-raisers and run projects. These two clubs have been very active in their endeavours.”
The Rotary Club of Benoni’s youth officer Sharol Naidoo oversees the clubs at these schools.
“Liverpool Secondary presently has 156 members in their interact and the teacher taking the lead of the club is Ayesha Choonara. We remain very involved with the interact clubs, assisting their projects,” explained Annie.
