Middle Park High School\u2019s Interact Club has been working hard to fundraise this year, even through a pandemic.<\/p>\n
The students chose this year to fundraise globally, but also kept the local community in mind. The club chose to fundraise for La China, Nicaragua, to help with water sanitation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe knew that this school we were trying to help was really struggling with their water sanitation, and so we decided to help,\u201d Interact Club President Brianna Renteria said.<\/p>\n
In partnership with El Porvenir, the students set a goal of $2,000 to send to Nicaragua in order to build three latrines. Fundraising included the Blizzard Fest, a winter community festival, where the club raised $500.<\/p>\n
With the help of the Winter Park-Fraser Rotary Club, Grand Lake Rotary Club and El Provenir partner Spirit of Christ the students were able to cash match the remaining money.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe proudly say that we have sent out those $2,000 out to Nicaragua and hope good things come from it!\u201d Renteria said.<\/p>\n
The student club also donated another $500 to the Mountain Family Center this year, which included funds raised by previous Interact Clubs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
