Rawacou Recreational Facility gets ‘Interact’ clean-up
MEMBERS OF the Interact Clubs of St.Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) took decisive action in support of environmental sustainability last Sunday, December 14, 2025 with a beach clean-up at the Rawacou Recreational Facility. The Clubs said in a release that this activity has reinforced a strong commitment to protecting the environment.
Interactors from the St. Vincent Girls’ High School, St. Martin’s Secondary School, and the St.Vincent Grammar School came together with a shared purpose- to protect the nation’s coastline, safeguard marine life, and give back to a space enjoyed daily by the wider community.
With gloves on and strong civic spirit, these young leaders exemplified the Rotary motto: Service Above Self.
The clean-up effort received strong support from national and Rotary leadership. Joining the Interactors for the day’s activity were parliamentary representative for the area, and Minister of Housing etc, Andrew John; Minister of Education, Phillip Jackson; and Rotary District 7030 Governor, Soraya Warner-Gustave.
The Clubs said their presence underscored the importance of youth-led environmental action and community collaboration.
Interact is a youth service programme sponsored by the Rotary Club of St.Vincent, designed to empower young people through leadership, community service, and environmental stewardship.
The Rotary Club of St.Vincent has extended appreciation to its partners whose support made the initiative possible, including the National Parks, Rivers, and Beaches Authority; Central Water and Sewerage Authority; Facey Trading; Tropical Shipping; and Marks TCL.
The Clubs said the beach clean-up serves as a reminder that small, collective actions can create meaningful and lasting impact. “Through initiatives such as this, the Interact Clubs of SVG continue to inspire positive change while fostering environmental responsibility among the next generation of leaders.”
