3 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT With immense pride, I, the President of the Rotaract Club of Uva Wellassa University - Badulla, for the year 2023-24, extend a warm welcome, as we unveil the stories of our remarkable journey under the theme, "Beyond Boundaries, Bridging Futures." This past year has been proof of the spirit of our Rotaract Pack. Inspired by the structure and strength of a wolf pack, we, the frontline leaders, have led with purpose, promoting a collaborative environment where every member's unique talents and perspectives are valued. Just as a wolf pack thrives on its collective power, our club's success stems from the unified efforts of each and every member. Throughout the year, we maintained the essence of "Beyond Boundaries" by venturing into boundaries that have never been crossed. We challenged ourselves to step outside our comfort zones, undertaking projects that addressed not only local concerns but also global issues. By forging strong partnerships with local organizations and fellow Rotaract clubs, we bridged the geographical limitations and extended our pack's reach, leaving a print of positive change in the wider world. Our commitment to "Bridging Futures" resonated in every page of our club's doings. We strived to bridge the gap between generations by collaborating with experienced Rotarians and promoting the leadership potential of our younger members. Through mentorship programs and knowledgesharing initiatives, we ensured a smooth transfer of leadership, paving the way for a brighter future for our club. Rotaract is not just about service; it's about self-discovery, leadership development, and building lifelong friendships, I often remind our pack. This year has been a period of immense growth and transformation for our Rotaract Pack. We have not only strengthened the bond within our pack but also expanded our pack mentality to encompass the wider community. As we move forward, let the spirit of the wolf pack continue to guide us. Let us strive for excellence, embrace challenges with never-ending courage, and always remember that together, as a pack, we can achieve anything. With a resounding howl of gratitude to each and every member, I conclude this message. May the legacy of our Rotaract Pack continue to illuminate the path for future generations. Viva la Rotaract! Signing Off, Thisal Walgampaya President RI Year 2023-24

As the "Beyond Boundaries, Bridging Futures" theme echoed throughout our club, we as the backbone of the pack, witnessed firsthand the spirit of our members. We facilitated communication, coordinated efforts, and ensured every member's contribution, big or small, found its place within the grand network of our projects. The late nights spent brainstorming, The tireless efforts in fundraising and logistics, were not the achievements of singular wolves, but the collective howl of a pack united in purpose. We crossed our limitations and we explored beyond boundaries, addressing local concerns and forging partnerships that extended our reach beyond geographical boundaries. Bridging futures became a tangible reality within our club. We witnessed the knowledge transfer between seasoned members and our enthusiastic newcomers. Through mentorship programs and collaborative initiatives, we nurtured the leadership potential that lies dormant within each member, ensuring a smooth transition for the future of our pack. This year wasn't without its hurdles. The lingering effects of the pandemic and external uncertainties demanded a different kind of strength – adaptability and support. And that's precisely what the Rotaract Pack displayed. We stood shoulder-to-shoulder, a united front against challenges, emerging stronger and more resilient. 4 MESSAGE FROM THE JOINT SECRETARIES We offer our heartfelt gratitude to every member who has been a part of this extraordinary journey.

Club Membership Strategy Membership at a Glance Inductions Terminations Inbound and Outbound Transfers
42 MEMBERSHIP AT A GLANCE Membership strategy The Rotaract Club of Uva Wellassa University - Badulla, being centered around the institution, primarily recruits members from the first to third-year student batches, as those in their final year are typically preoccupied with their concluding academic responsibilities. Strategic Approach Our objective is to consistently maintain a roster of over 60 active and engaged members. This was achieved through the project “Rotaract Pack” carried out throughout the year for membership development and retention. Our goals • Ensure a steady count of over 60 active participants in the club. • Motivate each new member to take the lead on a project or, alternatively, to initiate a project collaboratively with other newcomers. • Transition every potential member to an active status within their trial period. • Foster a sense of community by organizing regular networking events that will help integrate new members into the club. • Implement a mentorship program where experienced members guide new members, enhancing their leadership skills and club involvement. Bulk orientation The club initiated a comprehensive induction program titled “Know Your Rotaract Journey” for students eager to become members. This program provided a detailed overview of the Rotaract movement, the club’s project portfolio, and the range of activities available. A total of four induction sessions were conducted, targeting both potential and current members. Annual Report 2023-24: The club has implemented a rigorous selection process for prospective members to transition to active general membership. Candidates are allotted a three-month engagement period to participate in club activities. Their performance during this trial phase determines their acceptance as a General Member of the Club.
43 Making value to the membership The club pivoted to provide a suite of professional advancement opportunities and avenues for deeper involvement in the Rotaract movement. Members were encouraged to participate in projects like The Rotaract Pack, which offered insights into the Rotaract ethics and hands-on project management experience. Project provided mentorship, networking with past presidents, and experience in becoming a professional Rotaractor, going beyond just volunteering. Another initiative, Hired, was designed to equip members with the necessary skills for professional success, focusing on areas such as interview preparation, resume building, and networking strategies. These initiatives were not mere stopgap measures but a testament to the club’s agility and dedication to its members’ growth. By fostering a nurturing environment, the club ensured that each member could continue to develop their potential, even amidst challenging circumstances.
44 INDUCTIONS TERMINATIONS Induction process Membership proposals can originate from current members, be requested by interested individuals, or be suggested by other clubs for their members seeking to transfer or rejoin.

50 CLUB SERVICE Compagnia Initiation - July 22nd 2023 Volunteer Hours – 130 hours Secondary Avenues - Membership Development and Retention Project Chairperson -Thisal Walgampaya, BDSH Dharmasena The Compagnia Project, organized by the Rotaract Clubs of Alumni of University of Moratuwa, University of Moratuwa, Matale, University Alumni, SLIIT, and Uva Wellassa University - Badulla, was a transformative initiative aimed at creating new friendships and serving the community through three engaging phases. The project, which involved approximately 130 volunteer hours, was chaired by Thisal Walgampaya and BDSH Dharmasena. It included significant contributions from a dedicated project committee comprising Sathsara Senarathna, Nipuna Kavinda, Kawmadi Jayasinghe, and Dehemi Samarasinghe. Phase 1, held on July 22, 2023, in Matale, Sri Lanka, focused on cultural immersion and community service. Participants engaged in a dog-feeding campaign, treating stray dogs with food and medicine. The phase also included leadership sessions with district leaders and visits to scenic locations like Riverston and Sembuwatta, fostering new friendships and enhancing leadership skills. Phase 2, from January 5-6, 2024, took place along the beaches of Wattala to Negombo. This phase emphasized bonding and environmental conservation. Activities included leadership development sessions, beach cleanups, and fun games. Participants also visited local religious sites, promoting cultural appreciation. The final phase, a virtual session on May 30, 2024, allowed participants to share their experiences and maintain connections. This online meet-up included discussions, games, and casual chats, providing a reflective and celebratory end to the project. The Compagnia Project achieved its objectives by fostering new friendships, promoting cultural understanding, and engaging in meaningful community service. Through leadership workshops, environmental conservation efforts, and interactive activities, participants developed valuable skills and created lasting memories. The project's success was bolstered by a comprehensive PR campaign, which utilized social media to generate excitement and maintain engagement. Overall, the Compagnia Project demonstrated the power of unity, friendship, and community service, leaving a positive impact on all involved and setting a precedent for future collaborative initiatives.
