Month in Review: July

Month is Review is back! But this time, with a new board to commence the Rotaract Year 2023 – 2024. While we were busy getting accustomed to our new roles and trying our best to fulfil our responsibilities, we did also conduct some exciting projects! The month started with avenue meetings where our members were introduced to the board, and we were able to share our plans for the year to come. We also proudly launched our logo and motto “Come for the Fellowship, Stay for the Impact” and successfully conducted our transition meeting which was attended by many dignitaries!

Moving on, join us as we relay to you all we got up to within the month!

As the first project of the year, the co-directors of the Professional Development Avenue conducted the ‘Into the Future’ session, which was organized by Unilever SPARKS of University of Colombo in collaboration with the Rotaract Club of the University of Colombo Faculty of Arts and the Career Guidance Unit of the University of Colombo Faculty of Arts. It was held on the 18^th of July at university premises and was an informative session on artificial intelligence and technology in the future of work. Overall, we could confidently say it was a big success and an amazing kick-start to our year!

වසරේ ප්‍රථම ව්‍යාපෘතිය ලෙස කොළඹ විශ්වවිද්‍යාලයේ Unilever Sparks ආයතනය විසින් කොළඹ විශ්වවිද්‍යාලයේ ශාස්ත්‍ර පීඨයේ රොටරැක්ට් සමාජය හා සහ කොළඹ විශ්වවිද්‍යාලයේ කලා පීඨයේ වෘත්තීය මාර්ගෝපදේශන ඒකකය එක්ව සංවිධානය කරන ලද ‘Into the Future ‘ සැසිය වෘත්තීය සංවර්ධන මාවතේ අධ්‍යක්ෂකවරුන් විසින් මෙහෙයවන ලදී.  එය ජුලි මස 18 වැනි දින විශ්වවිද්‍යාල පරිශ්‍රයේදී පැවැත්වුණු අතර එය තාක්ෂණය සමග අනාගත වැඩ කටයුතු පිළිබඳ තොරතුරු සැසියක් විය. සමස්තයක් වශයෙන්, එය විශාල සාර්ථකත්වයක් කියල අපිට කියන්න පුළුවන්.

ஆண்டின் முதல் திட்டமாக, கொழும்பு பல்கலைக்கழகத்தின் யுனிலிவர் ஸ்பார்க்ஸ் நிறுவனம், கொழும்பு பல்கலைக்கழக கலைப் பீடத்தின் ரொட்டராக்ட் கழகம் மற்றும் பீடத்தின் தொழில் வழிகாட்டல் பிரிவு ஆகியவற்றுடன் இணைந்து ஏற்பாடு செய்த ‘எதிர்காலத்திற்குள்’ அமர்வு. கொழும்பு பல்கலைக்கழகத்தின் கலைகள் தொழில் மேம்பாட்டு பாதையின் பணிப்பாளர்களால் வழிநடத்தப்பட்டது. இது ஜூலை 18 ஆம் தேதி பல்கலைக்கழக வளாகத்தில் நடைபெற்றது மற்றும் தொழில்நுட்பத்துடன் எதிர்கால பணிகள் குறித்த தகவல் அமர்வாக இருந்தது. மொத்தத்தில் பெரிய வெற்றி என்றே சொல்லலாம்.

Along with our treasurer, they conducted a rather successful fundraiser and from what we observed, they caught two birds with stones! The popularity of Rotaract Arts truly sky rocketed and we were able to secure a substantial fund to start off our year!

අපේ භාණ්ඩාගාරික සමඟ, ඔවුන් සාර්ථක ලෙස අරමුදල් රැස් කිරීමක් සිදු කළ අතර, අපිට පෙනුන විදියට Rotaract Arts හි ජනප්‍රියත්වය සැබවින්ම ඉහළ ගිය අතර අපගේ වසර ආරම්භ කිරීම සඳහා අරමුදලක් සුරක්ෂිත කර ගැනීමට මෙයින් අපට හැකි විය!

எங்கள் பொருளாளருடன் சேர்ந்து, அவர்கள் வெற்றிகரமாக ஒரு நிதி திரட்டலை நடத்தினர், மேலும் ரோட்ராக்ட் ஆர்ட்ஸின் புகழ் உண்மையில் உயர்ந்ததைக் காண முடிந்தது, மேலும் இது எங்கள் ஆண்டைத் தொடங்க நிதியைப் பெற எங்களுக்கு உதவியது!

We started the year with our general article series where we introduced our president and the co-editors for the year. Following the publication of some truly beautiful pieces, we moved on to our first project for the year, The Love Gazette. This is a series where we hope to look at the very notion of love in all its forms, the sweet and the bitter. So far, if we are to make a judgement, we would say it has been rather emotional.

අපි අපේ සාමාන්‍ය ලිපි මාලාවෙන් වසර ආරම්භ කළෙමු, එහිදී අපි ඇත්තෙන්ම ලස්සන ලිපි  කිහිපයක් ප්‍රකාශයට පත් කළෙමු . අපි අපගේ වසරේ පළමු ව්‍යාපෘතිය වන The Love Gazette අරඹා ඇති අතර එය  ආදරය යන සංකල්පය එහි ඇති මිහිරි සහ කටුක යන සෑම ආකාරයකින්ම බැලීමට අපි බලාපොරොත්තු වන ලිපි මාලාවකි. මෙතෙක්, එය ඉතාමත්  හැඟීම්බර වූ බව අපිට කියන්න පුළුවන්.

எங்கள் வழக்கமான தொடர்களுடன் ஆண்டைத் தொடங்கினோம், அங்கு சில நல்ல கட்டுரைகளை வெளியிட்டோம். இந்த ஆண்டின் எங்கள் முதல் திட்டமான தி லவ் கெசட் என்ற தொடரைத் தொடங்கியுள்ளோம், இதில் காதல் என்ற கருத்தை அதன் இனிப்பு மற்றும் கசப்பான அனைத்து வடிவங்களிலும் பார்க்கலாம். இதுவரை உணர்ச்சிகரமாக இருந்தது என்றே சொல்லலாம்.

And that concludes our month of July! Thank you for joining us on this exciting journey, and we look forward to sharing more updates and adventures with you in the coming months. Stay tuned!
