Why I Joined Rotaract.
Rtr Dilendra Wijesekara
When I initially arrived at my college I was introduced into a dozen, if not many, clubs and among them the Rotaract Club peaked my interest.
We know we feel that our Rotaract friends and Rotaract experiences are memorable chapters of our lives. Yet when asked "Why Rotaract?" we have trouble relating to the depth of our Rotaract experience.
In an increasingly complex world, Rotaract provides one of the most basic human needs: the need for friendship and fellowship.
Initially, I found Rotaract to be a great avenue for making friends all while giving back to our community.
Our Club has been involved in several community services.
"Level Up Phase II" a project to provide school children access to clean water , "Back to School" initiative to help the children who have been victims of the Aranayake tragedy, a blood donation and an eye camp being few of the many projects we as a club have been a part of this year.
Rotaract opens a door for community service, getting involved in volunteering and fundraising projects.
But I soon realised that Rotaract is much more – a chance to develop my own skills.
It ensures continuing growth and education in human relations and personal development.
The personal and professional development opportunities in Rotaract are endless. Its members come from all walks of life. We help each other and collectively help our community.
Rotaract also develops confidence and skills in public communication and the opportunity to practice and burnish them.
Because Rotaracters are an extraordinarily diverse group based on age, location, focus, and experience that in turn creates long-term relationships quickly in spite of cultural or language challenges bringing everyone together.
Local and international community service is a huge part of the organisation, but the skill building and social networks are profound.
This is perhaps the best reason for becoming a Rotaracter: Satisfaction of Making a Difference to People Who Need Your Help by leaving the world a better place than you found it.
