In our world today, it cannot be emphasised enough that we must prioritise our mental wellbeing, and take care of ourselves. As youth, we are completely immersed in a environment where we, along with our peers, friends and family, are all affected by mental health issues one way or another. This is how our Interact group decided on our first project, which was: ‘Wellness bags’ designed to promote self-care and self-love, for the pact group's youth clients. The resulting Wellness Bags we made (on our assembly day) contain a stress ball, lavender bath salts, fruit tea, a bundle of positive affirmations/ quotes, and a small, but special book. Inside this book, we have included two anonymous stories written by two Oran's girls who have battled mental health issues but were able to overcome them in the end. There is also a "Wellness Toolbox," a page of Helpful Resources and a colouring-in page.
I am immensely grateful to Jo Newlove, and Hutt Valley Rotary for the opportunity to start the Interact club at my school this year, we are very excited for the future. Jess Ye, on behalf of Interact

From your "stand in" P P as Jo, Chris, Judy and Luke supported family in Auckland Our thoughts have been with you all. The "Ted Talk" replaced our speaker this week due to circumstances beyond our control. Very interesting and worth serious thoughts about protecting our planet Paul shared the value of the Innovative Young Minds Programme (IYM). This is certainly a youth programme that our club will support again in 2018. Tony reminded us about "Japan Day " Support is needed, see the FaceBook for details. " Round Taupo Ride" is only 9 days to go. Bikes and riders are ready. Go well and enjoy the weekend. Vocal FX tickets are now available, and have been distributed to members. Michelle has tickets for you all, or you can purchase through "Event Finder " This will be an amazing evening so share with family and friends. Your support will help Te Omanga Hopice and our clubs projects. Enjoy your week Michelle

Why Workout for Water? Because 2.1 billion people worldwide don’t have access to clean water. For every workout we’ll be encouraging Instructors and members to raise USD $414, which is the cost to build a water pump in East Africa. Just one of these pumps can bring clean, safe drinking water to an entire community. Donate here

Following on from Jo’s update at Wed’s meeting, we can confirm that the Chinese teachers will NOT now be travelling from China. Unfortunately their required visas to enable them to leave China have been denied and at this point they have been told they cannot travel this year. We know that the teachers will be very disappointed. THANK YOU to those that had offered to host or transport the teachers. Also, the hours of work by those who had planned the exchange is hugely appreciated. Be assured that the club’s International team will soon be working on alternative plans for something equally exciting. Watch this space! Bruce

 The philosophy behind the programme is simple - to break the cycle of 'booklessness'. Children who can't read become adults who can't communicate and that's a serious disadvantage in a world that operates on the written word.
The Alan Duff Charitable Foundation, better known as Duffy Books in Homes, provides free books to over 100,000 New Zealand children, three times a year.

 Since 2003 a team of rostered volunteers has been going into 3 low-decile schools in Lower Hutt to participate in one-on-one reading sessions with children. The children practise reading to the volunteer at a level slightly higher than that at which they were currently reading.
The response from the children is enthusiastic. Some of the children get little opportunity for similar reading experiences at home and they really appreciate being able to demonstrate their skills to an encouraging adult.
The schools now say they do not know how they managed without our team.

This project is about supporting local midwives on Tanna Island, Vanuatu who deal with an alarming teenage pregnancy problem and the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases, malnutrition, and infant death. The heart of the problem is a lack of awareness and knowledge by the 20,000 inhabitants of the Island. Besides assisting with child birth, the two midwives have set about an education and information sharing learning opportunity for local schools and families; it is this role that has attracted Rotary's attention and initial support.

Some brought tattered and chewed-cover copies of books about Hairy, Slinky Malinki, Schnitzel von Krumm, Zachary Quack and others in her cast of characters. But young and old sought Dodd's autograph, and a few words with the author at the unveiling of bricks in the Dowse Community Pathway - our local pathway that tells the story of Hutt Valley people.
