Rochelle Township High School students are reaching out over 8,000 miles and making an impact on students in India while spreading Christmas cheer.
Interact Club is working with Dr. Prabhaker and the Rochelle Rotary Club to assist India’s Rotary Club. Interact Club is selling candy grams for $1 with proceeds going to purchase desks for students in India. The two Rochelle groups and Dr. Prabhaker are hoping to raise enough money to provide desks for 4,000 Indian students. Each desk will seat three to four students.
“Many schools in the area that we are raising money for have few desks or no desks at all,” stated club director Allison Mercer-Curtis. “We believe that these desks will significantly impact the students’ access to education.”
