Campolindo Senior Nia Ho and her family recently returned from visiting family in India, where she met with the Rotary Club of Visakhapatnam. Nia is president of the school Interact Club, sponsored by Moraga Rotary, and was planning her Scout project to earn the Eagle rank. With the Rotary Club in India, Nia visited several school tuition centers where disadvantaged children are educated, and returned with the goal of making videos on a variety of subjects which can be viewed by these students. The content of the videos will be provided by volunteers from Scout Troop 200 in Lafayette, the Campolindo Interact Club, and Rotarians from Moraga and Visakhapatnam. The intent is to grow the students' perspectives on unfamiliar topics, so the videos will cover topics such as sustainable environmental practices, music of unfamiliar genres such as jazz and classical, and food traditions in other countries. They expect to play the videos at international Rotary meetings. Moraga Rotary, sponsor of the Campolindo Interact Club, is a 56-year-old service club within Rotary International, and meets most Tuesdays at noon at La Finestra restaurant.
