ARAMBAYAK ‘19
This has been the 1st project in every Rotaract year of the Rotaract Club of University of Colombo Faculty of Management and Finance for the last 3 consecutive years. Club members visited a Kovil, a Church, a Mosque and a Temple to start off the year by receiving blessings from all 4 main religions within the country and it was accompanied by knowledge sharing sessions. Further, home-made packets of lunch were distributed to the deserving and needy souls fighting a daily battle of hunger. Through this project, the bonds among members were strengthened while the foundation for peace and harmony was set.
HERO IN YOU
This was organized for the second time as a phase of Project “Mission Compassion” for the little fighters in the Children’s Wing of the Apeksha Cancer Hospital. The agenda for the day included a drawing session, a role play, a singing session and distribution of gift packs. Besides, some club members dressed up as different characters to cheer them up. A special Thank-you goes out to Shanudrie Priyasad for joining us in lighting up the lives of these beautiful little souls. We believe, we helped these children to dream big and to find the hero in them!
The Induction Program gave a brief introduction about RACUOCFMF to those who were willing to join the club. Potential members were also given a chance to introduce themselves and to get to know each other. The Orientation Program was organized in order to welcome the newly joined members of the club who were firstly familiarized with the formalities and procedures of Rotaract. Thereafter all members were divided into groups and were given the opportunity to bond with the rest of the members and to improve fellowship through games and fun activities.
