The Willetton Senior High School (WSHS) Interact Club pulled out all stops last Saturday 13 March 2021 to feed the masses at their school which had became a polling booth for the WA State Election. We assisted by supplying the workforce to sizzle sausages. Led by Club Director for Youth Service, Noel Galopin, the BBBQ Band of Brothers comprised Simon Cubitt, Frank Murgia, Greg Hamilton, Kieran English, David Honeychurch, Stuart Diggins and me. I thank everyone involved and was delighted to learn that around $2000 was raised from the BBQ and from the sale of cakes, curry puffs and knick knacks being offered for sale by Interact members.
It was a special day too because we had a visit from the WA Premier, Mark McGowan, who obliged by posing with the Interactors.
While I'm on the subject of Youth I can report that on 8 February we had students Roman Kumar and Aail Ibraham (pictured below with Simon Cubitt) at the Club to tell about their attendance at the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) which because of COVID19, was run at UWA rather than in Canberra and Brisbane. As always we can be confident the future is in good hands.
And on 22 February it was Porcia Misaman and Monique Mather (pictured below with Simon Cubitt) told us about their adventures at the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA ) camp they attended in January..While sworn to secrecy about the challenges they faced, they were able to give us an insight to the benefits they derived from the programme.
In the last edition I said we would provide Erin Hegarty's presentation about Mama Respond International a new Australian charity that functions in Kitengela, Kenya, to connect students with special needs to available medical resources and seeks to alleviate curable disabilities and treat lifelong disabilities to promote equal educational opportunities. I'm happy to say that we now have it. Just Click on the link in the right hand column under Erin's image.
