Kids in The Philippines happy with cleats and books from Ladner Interact high school members

Posted by Peter Roaf on Nov 26, 2021

100 pairs of soccer cleats, which members of the Rotary-sponsored Interact Club at Delta Secondary School collected over several months by early this year, have arrived to the delight of children on soccer teams, whose families would not be able to afford them, in the community of Panglao, The Philippines. At left, boys are happy as they try on their new soccer cleats. A collection of books for children, also collected by the Interact Club, have arrived in a separate shipping container along with used medical and dental equipment, sent from this region's Rotary World Help network, and will be distributed to schools in the area.
