Donation to e3 Kids International Schools in Kenya

North Coast Rotary was able to support e-3 Kids International with 1000 little dresses and shorts made by the St. Clarence Little Dresses Ministry led by Rita Backus and Annemarie Schroeder. Additionally Big Frog of Avon donated many t-shirts to the cause. At a recent meeting, North Coast Rotary heard from e-3 Kids International Founder and Executive Director Carol Turner.  Their mission is to equip, empower and educate youth in impoverished countries.  The 10-year-old organization, based in Fredericksburg Virginia operates in multiple countries. Carol’s presentation focused on their schools in Kenya, and their collaboration with Sandusky resident JoEllen Schadeck to establish sewing academies https://e3kids.com/stories/sewingacademy

JoEllen will deliver the North Coast Rotary donations to Carol in Virginia in time for a June 2022 shipment to Kenya.   e-3 Kids also works closely with Virginia area Rotarians and Christian organizations.  North Coast Rotary will continue to connect e-3 Kids with local Rotary organizations who do work in the same impoverished areas.

Note: The N. Olmsted St. Clarence Little Dresses Ministry meet the first two Wednesdays of every month to assemble materials, sew dresses and shorts and embellish them. They are in need of fabric donations. Please use the form below if you have 100% cotton fabric that you can donate . A North Coast Rotarian will contact you to arrange the donation. Thank you!

Interact – Youth Service Organization

This 2021-2022 school year, forty Brookside High School students joined the Interact club to work on a variety of service projects.  Interact Advisor V. Rion attributed the Club’s success to its Officers saying, “They are engaged, demonstrate leadership, are committed to service for others and work very well together.”  Reporting out at the North Coast Rotary meeting, each Officer highlighted specific projects. Teacher recognition, candy for the military, cards for nursing home residents, holiday baskets for those in need and a reading project for the whole district were just a few of the service initiatives. North Coast Rotary congratulated the Officers and presented Certificates of Interact Leadership to President Leah Musall, Vice President Chase Holm, Secretary Alex Rion, Treasurer Liv Strohsack, and Representatives Joe DeLuca and Nura Afaneh. Most of the officers are seniors, but Alex and Joe plan to return next year to help lead the club with another year of Service. ​
