It's been a while since Rotaract Club of Badulla took a little break, just because the examination period of Uva Wellassa University started. Suddenly the President of Rotary Club of Badulla 2016/17, Mr. Suresh Kumaar Shanmugam called me on 1st of July.
Wishing me and my club members a Happy Rotaract Year, he proposed me to hold a Ifthar program as the very first project to host by the Rotaray with the support of my team. Calling my junior, Hameez from 1st Year, who was my colleague at my school times, I asked him the things to know especially about the organizers of their usual Ifthar program and then contacted Nilaf from 3rd Year and got necessary information, about the costs and other stuff.
Informing Mr. Suresh (Rotary Preident) and Mrs. Dilki (Rotary Youth Service), the program was confirmed to be held at the date 3rd July - Sunday.
having a meeting with Mr. Suresh together with my board, we had a nice informal meeting and discussed about the things to do in the coming year with the support of our parent club.
The program was solely sponsored by the Rotary Club of Badulla and as Rotaractors, my team was there at our best, trying to make a greater impression on ourselves and also on our club. The program was first introduced by the President of Islamic Union of UWU, Riskhan and then handed over the welcome note to my self. Taking not much time, the program was announced start with the prayers.
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Suresh talked more about the Rotary International and it's contribution and service, including the Rotary's contribution on polio ending. Also he stated about the Rotary as a place where the humanity comes first highlighting the Rotary theme for the year 2016/17 - Rotary Serving Humanity.
My self then given the opportunity to talk to the gathering and I simply stated about the Rotaract Badulla and our vision inviting the gathering to join hands with our club.
The whole program was a better beginning for the new year and for the first time, I could let most of my members to have an exposure - what is Rotaract.
Thank You ROTARACT!
