Share. Care. Smile.
Initiated
by the Rotaract Club of Hyderabad Himayathnagar, ‘Share. Care. Smile.” was the
kick-start project of the second quarter. It was in fact a joint project
undertaken with a theme to share what we’ve got, care for the underprivileged
and put a smile on their faces, which we saw in great abundance on the 1st of
October. Gungamuwa Maha Vidyalaya in Horana, with 213 students, was the school
chosen. We were not only able to delight the students with presents, but also
motivate and highlight the importance of higher education. Read more.

being part of this amazing movement, which happens to be the reason behind many

Rotaract as one big family.

Stones was a leadership program held on the 31st of October at Royal Skills
Center. As the name suggests, the objective of the project was to gear up the

carried out by the professional trainer Miss Bernadine Jayasinghe. Read more.

Bake Sales
Five teams from the club competed against each
other in generating revenue from bake sales during the month of October. They
went beyond the concept of bake sales by selling some of the most sought-after
items such as traditional Sri Lankan cuisines and mojitos. There was also an exciting
‘Henna Stall’ which even the boys wanted to try!

Feel the Sun
“Feel the Sun” was a project carried out at the
Dayamina Children’s Home, which is a home to about 30-35 children with special
needs. Both members and non-members of the club volunteered to spend the day at
the home and engaged in many fun-filled activities such as face-painting,
singing and dancing. The children were also given delightful presents along
with an evening snack. Among the many memories we took home on the 15th
of November was the happiness of seeing the kids smile.

Board Trip
Undoubtedly, the Board Trip was one of the highly
anticipated projects of the quarter. The members headed off to Hikka Boutique,
a villa in Hikkaduwa, on the 21st of December. The time spent together relaxing
and playing games such as mafia and handball was much needed after the
pressurizing semester end exams.
