Several club members supported a school project organised by the family of former members Dilip & Jyoti Kothari in rural Rajasthan, India. This year we helped a small school with >50 children in a Bhil village. We bought unifroms, mats, personal care products and books for the children as well as some much needed extra equipment for the school.  A great day for the kids from the village as well as one visiting Rotarian from Prague  |

On March 31st, a party of seven Rotarians and partners from Prague visited our partner club, Bristol Breakfast in the south-west of England.
It was a very enjoyable trip as the members of BB not only accommodated us in their homes, but arranged lots of interesting activities for us.
The amazing Clifton suspension Bridge
As well as walking over this amazing bridge, we walked through the old port center of Bristol and visited the fascinating SS Great Britain.
Evening entertainments were great fun, including a skittles evening at a traditional English pub.
Generous scoring meant the ladies team skittled out the men. |

A great way to enjoy fellowship, celebrate the approach of spring and support a good cause!All Interact activities support charities here in the Czech Republic, in Europe and in East Africa. The proceeds from this event will help a group of Interacters at school who have organised a week of volunteer work in an orphanage in Kiev. The proceeds will directly support supplies and services which they will be able to take to the orphanage when they leave on Thursday 5th May. Full bar and restaurant service is available at City which is a friendly bar near to Namesti Miru. This Friday (4th March) our President Martina Parizkova will be at Rotary lunch to sell tickets for this exciting event - our first Interact fundraiser to be held outside school.
