Silverdale Baptist Academy's Interact Club addressed the Rotary Club of Chattanooga Hamilton Place. The Interact Club shared their experiences of bringing water filters to villages in Guatemala and gave a demonstration of how the water filters work.
An Interact Club is a Rotary Club sponsored organization for young people ages 12-18 to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of Service above Self. Interact stands for International Action and carries out projects based on four main elements: community service, finances, international understanding and club service. Interact Clubs are a basic stepping stone for teenagers to bring them into the adult world in terms of character, social stability, and management capabilities, said officials.
