resulted in twice the audience of last year's event, drawing 650 people,
and featured more than 20 presenters on 4 panels. The topics were varied
and presenters travelled in from many locations. The presentations,
which kept the attention of the audience for three hours, included: "Overview of the UN", "Model United Nations," Shelterbox; Global Response to Humanitarian Needs," "Ending Child Trafficking," "Elderact; Enhancing the Lives of Seniors," "Making an Impact in Your Community," "Gift of Life," "Fighting Aids in Africa/Spreading Happiness in Harlem," "Water Projects in Honduras with Engineers Without Borders," "Community Based Rotaract," "Spring Break; a Time for Fun or Service?," "Safe Childhood; Emergency Medicine for Uganda Children," "Building Leaders Locally," "Expanding to International Leadership," "Exploring a New Culture in France," "How My Life Changed in Chile." the panels covered Interact, Rotaract, RYLA and Exchange Student projects. RI President Dong Kurn Lee concluded the program with inspiring words meant to encourage the students to begin to make service a part of their lives. Follow up analysis showed that many students took this seriously by adopting projects into existing Interact Clubs, or starting new clubs in their High Schools. Interestingly, "Ending Child Trafficking" was one of the favorites. |
