Claremont Colleges Rotaract Panama Trip

Seventeen Claremont Colleges students will be spending Spring Break 2012 in Panama City, Panama. While staying in Casco Antiguo, the group will be working with a local NGO called AVACA to restore a theatre for after-school arts programs, build a skate park, and assist with a neighborhood cleanup project. Having received funding from campus sources to offset travel expenses, the group is fundraising for the projects themselves as we hope to provide monetary support in addition to physical labor.

Fundraising!

Thank you to all of the parents who bought cookies for their Claremont Colleges students as part of our cookie fundraiser! We will be combining the money we raised selling cookies with the money that the Interact Clubs at El Roble Intermediate School and Claremont High School raised throwing a bowling fundraiser and will now be bringing a donation of around $1200 to AVACA in Panama City. We are so thankful for all of the support the Claremont Colleges/Claremont communities have offered us and we can't wait to make the gift on behalf of everyone who has helped out!
