On Tuesday, January 9, our lunch program will be presentations on International Projects from Bruce Abernethy and Jamie Garza. |
Bruce Abernethy will share information about his 2023 travels to Nepal with a few Interact students. Jamie Garza will give a brief presentation on our club’s international project.
In August, Bruce traveled to Nepal for three weeks as part of a delegation with Ten Friends, a Sisters-based nonprofit that supports a girls boarding school, an orphanage, and the development of libraries in rural villages. The co-founder and Bruce were the two adult chaperones and they took five high school students with them (3 from Sisters HS and 2 from the Summit HS Interact Club). The trip was life-changing for all of them as they experienced being in a culture where giving is more valued than receiving.
