Local teachers are the target of a Pie in the Face fundraiser – of course, that’s only those brave educators who agreed to be part of this tasty program.
The Interact youth group of Rotary International in Palmerston created this fun fundraising event for November at the Norwell District Secondary school and the youth are selling ballots to potential pie throwers, who can win a chance to throw a tasty pie in the face of a number of participating teachers.
This event is one of the many fundraiser activities the Rotary Interact Youth group is undertaking to fund projects such as Free the Children, or Aquaboxes for disaster areas in the world. Aquaboxes filled with essential necessities during disasters are used to filter 1,200 litres of water at a time and make it drinkable. They are sponsored in cooperation with other Rotary clubs. Often Aquaboxes are among the first disaster relief equipment distributed in areas hit by earthquakes, storms, tsunamis and floods, providing fresh water.
The Interact club of Norwell is supported by the Rotary clubs of Drayton and Clifford, which annually sponsor a selected youngster to attend leadership courses like Adventures in Citizenship at parliament in Ottawa and the Seminar for Tomorrow’s Leaders in London.
Interact will also be setting up fundraising collection points to gather children’s winter clothing or winter coats at area supermarkets and libraries.
