In addition to building the ‘fooduments,’ members also had to create a scrapbook to give information on the country the monument which they were replicating was located in.
“The fooduments were all built on site, however each committee was given about three months to design and make their scrapbook. We intend to donate the scrapbooks to one of the primary schools on the island ” Williams explained.
The activity was judged by past Rotaractors and friends of the club. The International Committee emerged winner in the project after building The Great Wall of China.
Some of the other monuments built were the Eiffel Tower (France) by the Finance Committee, the Big Ben (England) done by the Professional Committee, Chichen Itza (Mexico) by the Club Service Committee and the Giza Pyramid (Egypt) by the Community Service Committee.
