Hosting a Group Of Students from Australia

The Rotaract Club of Kandy had the honour of hosting a group of students and two professors from the University of Wollongong (School of Economics and Finance), Australia to meet the proprietor of the largest Gem and Jewellery showroom in Kandy, Tiesh by Lakmini  on the 17th of July 2017.  

These students were studying on Sri Lanka's economy and development of businesses and how the country's economy effects on the new businesses.

Also we were able to get special permission from the Deputy Vice Chancellor of University of Peradeniya to make a personal visit to the Department of Economics and Statistics at the University including a discussion with the Head of Department Prof. Vijesandivan and a few students.

Tamil Workshop

Sri Lanka being a bilingual country, we believe that as responsible citizens we ought to make efforts to learn all three languages in use. Hence, as the majority of the club members were unfamiliar with the Tamil language, we organized a work shop to practice speaking Tamil so that it will serve as a great advantage for their future endeavors. 

Under the project avenue Club Service, the Tamil Workshop was held at the Kandy Club on the 16th of July 2017 where the members were taught the flag salutation in Tamil as well as simple Tamil vocabulary like the names of animals, birds, vegetables, and fruits.

It was a very productive day as all members learnt new things and also had fun.

Donation of Clothes and Toys to Daya Niwasa

The Rotaract Club of Kandy donated clothes and toys to the children at the Daya Niwasa, Kandy on the 8th of July under the project avenue of Community Service.

With the help of the family members and friends of Rotaract we were able to make a satisfying donation for the kids.

At the end of the day it is not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving.

"We make a living by what we get,

but...

we make a life by what we give"

President's Lunch

"Don't wait for someone to be friendly, show them how"

Keeping up with the tradition of the club, this year too the newly appointed president Rtr. Samindhi Unamboowe gave a “special treat” to the club members as a way to step in to the upcoming year with new hopes and aspirations.

This reunion also is a gesture to thank all the members for trusting and giving the opportunity for her to head this prestigious club. 

It was a great evening indeed on the 2nd of July 2017 at the Dinemore Restaurant, Kandy, where all  the members had a good time in improving fellowship among each other.

The Goals Project

The first project for the new term 17/18 of the Rotaract Club of Kandy under the Avenue Club Service, namely, "The Goals Project" was held on the 2^nd of July 2017 at the Kandy Club. This is an annual project where this time too, the incoming president explained her goals for the upcoming year, and provided the Board of Directors and the team with guidelines and made them aware of their respective responsibilities.

In the course of the discussion, new project ideas were pooled in by the members and the board of directors which were later discussed.

As the saying goes, Team Kandy wishes to,

“Stay focused, chase our dreams, and keep moving towards our goal to move ONE STEP BEYOND AMITY”
