No Sandwiches, No Skittles

By RotaractArts 0

Online lectures, discussions, assignments and mid semester examinations – too much to bear during a time where we are trapped in homes. I was crying internally for a chance to relax and release all my stress, but for the longest time it felt as if my wish was going to be nothing but a daydream – until it was not anymore. The Club Service Avenue called volunteers to organize the annual club picnic some time ago. A club picnic of all things? It sounded fun, but I hesitated a bit to put my name in the list as I was not very confident if I would be able to balance it all – the exams and assignments had already eaten…

‘SLAMM-ing Through’

By RotaractArts 1

Fun, thrill, and excitement feels light years away during this pandemic and escaping the dullness and monotony of confinement seems impossible (Wouldn’t you agree?).

However, due to the recent COVID-19 outbreak and the restraints on social interaction it brought about, I’m still yet to see the organization truly flex its muscles as almost all the ongoing projects had to be scaled down in scope significantly in order to comply with the new limitations…

Deep Roots and New Blossoms – Annual Orientation Program 2020

By RotaractArts 0

Written by one of our most enthusiastic prospective members - Vibhath Jayasinghe; many thanks for your extremely detailed description of the afternoon!  As a student who had missed out on the phenomenon that was Interact during his school days, one could say that I headed into the orientation with high expectations. I would be lying if I said I didn't have high hopes going into the meeting, because they genuinely were, and why wouldn't they be? My peers had always spoken very highly of the organization, its incentives and its accomplishments. Considering all the buzz that surrounded both Interact and Rotaract, needless to say I was very excited to witness what the organization had to offer. And thus, I entered…
