...Advancing international understanding and goodwill.

Relationship Between Interact And Rotary

Interactors help with projects organized by their sponsoring Rotary clubs. In the developing world, Interact Clubs have played a major role in PolioPlus-Rotary International's massive effort to immunize all children against the polio. Interactors help by publicizing the availability and importance of polio vaccination for children throughout the community and by performing a variety of vital tasks on immunization day.
