Madison High School Interact Club is a school service club.  Students with the support of faculty advisor  Carole Rawding and support from members of the affiliated Madison Rotary, identified the Maasai Girls Fund, a local NJ foundation that makes possible scholarships for young Maasai village girls in rural Kenya.  Without the Fund’s help, these girls would have only a few basic grammar school years, then lives of hard servitude, being sold in exchange for cattle as genitally cut child brides into polygamous marriages.  The Fund, led by Paul and Avery Mantell of Kinnelon, also Rotary members, arranged to stop cutting, and has helped dozens of these village girls attend four-year boarding school including tuition, uniforms, room and board.  MHS Juniors Nina Kornchankul and Owen Weller led a successful Walk-a-Thon fund raiser campaign in Madison back in May that, combined with a follow-up online fund raiser, netted over $2,600, enough to fund four years of high school for one young lady, Leah Malano, pictured.
