International Potluck

Interact had an International Potluck to promote international understanding within Flippin High School. Six dishes from six third-world countries were presented by Interact members to students and teachers. Participants voted on their favorite dishes; Pakistan came in first, Uganda in second, and Haiti in third. All proceeds from the event go to Akhuwat, a charity that alleviates poverty in economically marginalized Pakistani families through interest-free microfinance and financial education. Special thanks to our Interact Sponsor Jessica Mitchell and our Principal Coach Horn for helping make this happen. And a description of each booth: Pakistan: Jasey Johnson, Ava Moore, Aidan Hodges; Tikka Kebab Palestine: Elle Mitchell, Carolina Noren; Anise Cookies Uganda: Kelsey Hickey, Adrianne Benedict; Pumpkin Cookies South Sudan: Kamryn Phillips, Kyndall Ross, Brentton McCune; Sudanese Kahk Venezuela: Taylor Henley, Annaleigh Mitchell; Papelon Con Limon Burkina Faso: Rylee Hickey, Kenna Greenhaw; Banfora Welshcakes Haiti: Emma Peveto, Chevi Hancock; Dous Makos
