Rotary Lunch Program: International Projects

Bruce Abernethy   On Tuesday, January 9, our lunch program will be presentations on International Projects from Bruce Abernethy and Jamie Garza.   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.
