Hearing Impaired Children Caring for the Visually Impaired & Aged...

On Thursday, 4th August, 2016 I was invited to the installation ceremony of Interact Club of KDN Shruti School for the Hearing Impaired...  an experience I will remember for a long long time to come.

The Club President, Zia Kasmani, unveiled his plans for the Rotary Year 2016-17 which talked about visiting the homes for the blind and the homes of the elders in the vicinity - to entertain them with their song and dance performance, to spend some quality time with them and carry gifts for them.  What a wonderful thought...  these are the children who are themselves 'differently-abled', mostly from economically disadvantaged families, and they are thinking about the visually impaired and the elders in the community.  

If only everyone in the society is this caring.... the world will be an even better place to live.

About Interact Clubs...
 
Interact gives students ages 12-18 the chance to make a real difference while having fun. Every Interact club carries out two service projects a year: one that helps their school or community and one that promotes international understanding.

Clubs meet at least twice a month and are sponsored by their local Rotary club. When you sponsor an Interact club, you’re helping young people:
  • connect with community leaders
  • develop leadership skills
  • make international connections
Rotary makes this difference to the youth... Rotary serves humanity.
