Club: a place where new skills are unlocked, knowledge grows beyond and the exposure is unfathomable. But Interact is in a different league. Interact Club: the largest service club network for young people ages 12-18. With over 10,000 clubs in 109 countries which makes it a truly global community. Among this humongous haystack, our Interact club is a mere needle, each of which revolves around the quote: "Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world." — Howard Zinn; which certainly holds.
Our school’s journey on the course of community service started on August 8, 2024; the day of installation. At the outset, the fundraiser took the form of a “Bake Sale: A Mini Canteen”, where the office bearers sold various snacks; a win-win scenario for both the students and the office bears. In rapid succession, as their first project, they donated educational es
sentials to a nearby government school.
Furthermore, the Paralympics, held at the A.P.J Abdul Kalam Memorial School on Independence Day, inspired participants, delighted their parents, and brought joy to spectators among which were the office bearers of our Interact club,who provided assistance to the proceedings and its participants. On top of that, in the month of September, the club set up a “Joy of Giving” program, whose sole objective was to give opportunities to students of every grade by allowing them to donate essentials to those in need.
District Assembly 2024-2025 held at United Public School on 30th August 2024, was an assembly filled with imminent Rotarians. Awards were granted in various fields and to several people, but on top of the spectrum was the Best Interact Club award in District 3201, which is presented to the club that most actively engages in community service and during the Interact week (week of 5 November to commemorate the founding of the first Interact club in 1962).
Our Interact office bearers also became a part of assembly. They saw this as a motivational push that they got in a mere three hours of assembly will perhaps be the driving force for their aim of getting the upcoming year’s: Best Interact Club Award.
Presently the club is in the operation of mapping out the course of action which includes awareness programs, donation programs and so forth; it endeavours to change the lives of many and perhaps “...transform the world” in some way or the other.
