Rotary International President

In an affluent society no useful distinction can be made between luxuries and necessaries - J.K. Galbraith

On Tuesday, the 5th of November, The members of International Action (Interact) club of KISU
were able to attend the Rotary International Presidential New Generations Africa Conference
2013. Over 3000 Interactors, Roteractors and Rotarians from as far as China and the United
States of America gathered at Hotel Africana to discuss and debate imperative issues like the empowerment
of the youth, the breakdown of cultural barriers and eradication of diseases, among
other controversial topics.
We live in one of the most youthful nations in the world where around 30% of the population are
under the age of 9. It is then only natural and vital to reinforce the power, voice and education that
young people of this generation deserve. The conference primarily gravitated around the theme of
empowerment, and we came to know that we do not only hold the key to the future, but the key to
the present- the NOW. We were also blessed enough to spend a few minutes with the Rotary International President 2013-14, Mr.
Ron D. Burton and Mrs. Burton.
It was a touching experience for the members of the KISU Interact club, and we were overjoyed to partake in such a prestigious conference.
We will definitely be”engaging Rotary and changing lives” and aspire to be the best ambassadors of Interactors.

Handing over... 2


From left to right: Sylvia (Josephine's mother), Ingrid (KISU interact club president) and Ms Catalina 

After the mole day bake sale on October 22nd, we were able to raise 800,000 Ugx which we handed over to Sylvia on the next day. 
The KISU interact club raised over 1million Ugx for Josephine and her family throughout this term, and we have decided to keep in touch with her but s\move onto another project, which is still undecided.

We want to thank Ms Catalina for helping us with the bake sale and Sylvia for coming all the way to KISU and collaborating with us.
