Last week, Nesrine Khiari spoke to us about the events her Interact club completed during her time as President last year.  Here are the highlights:

World Compliment Day--they gave balloons with compliments on them to boost self-esteem and morale.

Blessing Bags--distributed bags of food and other items to homeless in the community

Party for Teenagers--Had a party for teens.  All 600 tickets sold out, and it had 2 DJ's and a professional photographer.

Visit an Elderly Home--visited the elderly to put a smile on their face and listen to their stories

Hijos De La Luna--visited a home of children who aren't able to go outside in the sun.  Conducted workshops, cooked food, and told stories.

Hospital Visit--visited a children's cancer hospital to make them smile and forget their pain.  they offered gifts and music for entertainment.

 

The biggest event, though, was their book donation event.  They could not ask for money, but they could ask for books!  They were donated to schools to build their libraries.  It won an award for the best event in the country.
