Rotaract Club of College of Chemical Sciences

In a remarkable collaboration between Hope Gallery, the Rotaract Clubs of ACBT, ANC, APIIT, and the Interact Club of Hindu Ladies College, the Elf-ing Around in Colour' 23 project brought together a community of passionate individuals to make a difference in the lives of children. The main objective of this project was to prevent children from entering orphanages and instead provide them with a loving family environment. Through fundraisers and creative workshops, the project aimed to enhance their soft skills and equip them with the tools they need for a brighter future. On the 10th of December, the excitement reached its peak as the project unfolded at Arcade Independence. The day began with a vibrant and exhilarating run, starting at 9:00 am. Participants joyfully made their way from the Arcade to Green Path, while being showered with an array of colors. Laughter and cheers filled the air as everyone embraced the spirit of the event. What made this event even more special was th

On November 28th, 2023, members of the Rotaract Club of College of Chemical Sciences came together to make a positive impact on the lives of the students at Rathna Kanishta Vidyalaya, Hokandara. Project  සිහිනයට පියාපත් was  organised with the goal of providing much-needed school supplies and other essential items to these deserving students. The project was a huge success, thanks to the generosity and support of the members of our Rotaract Club and also the students at the College of Chemical Sciences.  A wide range of items, that would greatly benefit the students in their educational journey, were collected including 35 pencil boxes/cases, 22 water bottles, 25 lunch boxes, 205 pencils, 25 Drawing books, 125 Blue pens, 125 Black pens and 125 CR books.                                            With these donations, we aim to address the students' immediate needs and provide them with the necessary tools to excel in their studies, organise their belongings and  encourage their cre

The National Day of Giving, also known as Giving Tuesday, is a global movement that takes place on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. This year it follows on the 28th of November 2023. It's a day dedicated to promoting generosity and giving back to those in need. The idea behind the National Day of Giving is to counterbalance the consumerism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday by shifting the focus to philanthropy and making a positive impact in our communities.  It's a chance for individuals, organizations, and businesses to come together and support causes that are important to them. On this special day, people all around the world support various causes and organizations that are close to their hearts. It's a chance for us to show our generosity and make a difference in the lives of others. Whether it's donating to a local charity, volunteering your time, or spreading awareness about a cause, there are so many ways to get involved on the National Day of Giving.  It'

Education is a powerful tool that has the potential to transform lives and open doors to a brighter future. Unfortunately, not all schools have the necessary resources to provide quality education to their students.  This is where Project Heena, initiated by our passionate members of the Rotaract Club of College of Chemical Sciences stepped in to make a difference. On the 13th of October 2023, our visit to St. Mary's Tamil Maha Vidyalaya, Bambalapitiya, an underprivileged school facing a shortage of teachers in the secondary section, became a memorable experience of knowledge sharing and empowerment. The workshop conducted by our dedicated team focused on revising science subjects - biology, chemistry and physics - for students in the current Ordinary Level Examination classes.  We understood the importance of a strong foundation in these subjects and aimed to bridge the learning gaps. Through interactive sessions, visual aids, and engaging activities, we made the learning experien

  Every year, on October 24th, the world comes together to commemorate World Polio Day. This day serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to eradicate polio, a highly contagious and debilitating disease. The global movement for polio eradication has made significant progress, but there is still work to be done in ensuring a polio-free world. Polio, also known as poliomyelitis, primarily affects children under the age of five. It can cause paralysis, muscle weakness, and in severe cases, even death. However, thanks to the tireless efforts of organizations, governments, healthcare professionals, and volunteers worldwide, the number of polio cases has significantly declined. One of the key strategies in polio eradication is vaccination. Vaccines (and drops) have played a crucial role in preventing the spread of the poliovirus. Through widespread immunization campaigns, millions of children have been protected from this devastating disease. These efforts have brought us closer to achiev

On October 6, 2023, the Rotaract Club of College of Chemical Sciences joined forces with the Rotaract Club of Katugastota Region and the Interact Club of Kingswood College to organize a remarkable blood donation campaign, Drops of Hope 23’ , at the Kandy Baptist Church. With over 60 generous donors stepping forward, the campaign proved to be a resounding success. The importance of blood donation cannot be overstated. It is a selfless act of giving that has the power to save lives and offer hope to those in need. Every day, countless individuals face medical emergencies that require blood transfusions. By donating blood, we become the lifeline for these individuals, providing them with a chance at recovery and a brighter future. The combined effort of the three clubs allowed us to maximize our turnout and reach a wider audience. Together, we raised awareness and encouraged individuals to come forward and be a part of our blood donation campaign. The enthusiasm and support from our commu
