Rotaract Club of University of Peradeniya

With the prevailing curfew in the country majority of the people affected are daily wagers and they have to undergo several issues during this period. To facilitate the people affected by the current situation in the country, Rotaract Club of University of Peradeniya joined with the Art of Living Foundation, Explorers Club of University of Peradeniya, and AIESEC in Kandy in the project “Let’s Support the Daily Wagers”. Under this, a hundred families residing in Galaha and Deltota areas were chosen and essential dry rations and goods were donated with the support of Government officials in those areas. Most of the people affected in this area were working in the estate sector as well as other daily chores. Helping those in need who were even unable to have one meal per day during this time was a great task and the contribution of donators and well-wishers made this project a success.

Project ‘Quarantine and Chill’ was organized to raise the spirit of the Rotaractors and Interactors during the invasion of COVID-19 pandemic in collaboration with 13 other Rotaract and Interact clubs.  The event was about creativity and was directed under 3 categories. Poetry and Art were under the theme of Peace of Harmony while Memes were under the theme of Lifestyle of Rotaractors/Interactors during “work from home” and how they miss Rotaract/ Interact moments. The submissions were allowed from 22 nd  March to 31 st  March 2020 via a google drive link and the winners from each category were announced through social media. Click here for more information
