Director Of Professional Development
Colombo, Western Province, Sri Lanka
During my tenure as the Director of Professional Development, I chaired several projects aimed at fostering personal and professional development within the community:1) Pro-Active - Informative session organized to educate existing and prospective Rotaract members about Rotaract movement and how Rotaract can help an individual to thrive personally and professionally.2) Voice for Her - A project educating individuals about women's rights, empowering women to advocate for themselves, and encouraging them to pursue their dreams despite societal barriers.3) Ecopreneur- webinar series to promote sustainable entrepreneurship in Sri Lanka, fostering a culture of innovation while addressing environmental challenges.4) Frosts of Love - Worked with individuals with Down syndrome and autism in Kandy, providing resources for them to create Christmas cards. The profits from the card sales were returned to the school to support their needs, fostering an inclusive environment.In addition to these initiatives, I led projects aimed at enhancing inclusivity and equality within the club and the wider community:5) World Down Syndrome Day: Coordinated a day of activities in partnership with the NGO One Stage for All Association. This included engaging sessions designed to enhance the cognitive and creative skills of children with Down Syndrome, along with outdoor games and exercises. A parallel session was held for parents, providing education and support, as well as essential dry rations and stationery.6) Thaithirunal: Organized Thaithirunal to celebrate the vibrant Thai Pongal festival, with the goal of promoting diversity and inclusion within the club and fostering a sense of community.
