Rotary Interact Club’s members will sell baked goods at Houndstock to raise money for their new international project. Interact sponsor Brenda Lester announced at the most recent meeting that the international project would be to build wells in inner Mongolia.

According to Sally Bae, member and junior, the reason the members chose to build wells in Mongolia is because of the arid region Mongolia is located in. “Mongolia is pretty much a frozen desert, and people don’t have easy access to water, so a well will be extremely useful,” she said.

Bae said it costs around $20,000 to build a well. Because of this, the school’s Rotary Interact has contacted both the Carmel Rotary and the Mongolia Rotary Club.

“Since it’s such a big project, it’s also going to require help from other Rotary clubs nearby,” Bae said. “If they don’t or can’t help us, then we’ll just be raising money for other things in Mongolia.”
