Small Club Going For Big Change

ENSS Interact Club at No Frills, Brighton
On October 19th 2016 and October 23rd 2016 in the small town of Brighton had a fundraiser was held by the East Northumberland Secondary School Interact Club for the End Polio Now campaign. Through the two days of donations the Interact Club raised $300.40 for the campaign. This total will then be
tripled through the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation and then again by the government of Canada.
Polio is a disease that paralyses the body and mostly effects children under the age of five. Polio does have a vaccine, yet it is not always the easiest way to send around the world as people need to be trained to give the vaccine, and the vaccines need to be paid for. After the child receives their vaccine they will then receive a purple pinky so they do not become vaccinated again. As some may have heard part of End Polio Now slogan, “Purple pinkies for Polio.”

Though Polio is nearly eradicated in the world there are a few outbreaks still continuing in other countries. In countries such as Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Supported by Rotary, the club is creating awareness and is hoping to have the fatal illness eradicated worldwide.

The Pear Shape

Okay, so people are bigger on the bottom and smaller up top.  This is called the pear shape.  (Example on the side.) Some people find it hard to dress being this shape so I'm giving some Do Not's. No wearing things that draw attention to your hips and thighs.  Things like print skirts or even cargo pants.  However no one should ever wear cargo pants. No light colours on the bottoms.  Or prints. Tops that look really sloppy. DON'T WEAR SPAGHETTI STRAPS No thin materials for tops No think material for your bottoms Ankle length dresses Tight pants or pencil pants Hip length suit Harem Pants No large pockets No puffy skirt Stay away from detail on the butt No skinny jeans Nothing high waisted clothing Try not to buy jackets that end at the waist they bring attention to your waist NO FLASHY BELTS Keeping things short and sweet just like me!
