Challenge Accepted!

Yes, it will be a challenging year! But nothing we can’t handle as a team!

Today I’m experiencing an unexpected movement because of my Rotaract family. Actually, from my point of view, this is a brand new challenge. From the bottom of my heart, I said ‘yes!’ to this brand new challenge a few months ago because facing challenges is my one and only passion. Over the span of one and a half years, I could proudly say I gained thousands of new and exciting experiences by conducting and organizing various kinds of events with the Rotaract Arts family. During those few months, what I saw was a sense of unity among the Rotaract Arts family members. A special mention goes to this one person, whose inspiration led us to understand the importance of teamwork, and that is none other than Rtr. Gethmi Adikari. First of all, I’d like to thank her for building up a strong foundation for our Rotaract Arts family. Secondly, I am grateful for all the board members who helped us reach success without any hesitation, despite tons of challenges. Furthermore, I would like to thank both past president Gethmi Adikari and all the board members at the same time because I’m confident we are much more successful because of the working experience we gained working with them.

As a member of the Rotaract Arts family, my primary duty is to select hard-working and eligible members for the Rotaract board. Needless to say, my duty was made more feasible than expected as I have previous working experience with the members who I then selected to work with me, and there is no negativity in that. So, presenting to you…our new board for the year!
