Round Up of RAC Lahore's Activities for 2012-2013











RAC Lahore has had another quite productive rotaract year. The activities that the club conducted tried to cover all the heads that have been established by Rotary International. The main focus has always been on the motto ‘service above self’, so the activities that you will see listed here will have a lot of community service activities. Added to these our club is fully committed to have a representative international presence & therefore, we have undertaken many International Projects with other Rotaract Clubs around the globe. These activities we believe will not only help us make close bonds with the rotaract community around the globe but will also represent the right image of the people of Pakistan.

It is never always about doing something at a huge level. Touching one life at a time in a sustainable manner is the key that will bring real change and this is something RAC Lahore is committed to.

The Joy Drive

The ‘Joy Drive’ is another project that RAC Lahore is associated with since two years. We are a group of people who want to spread smiles, make a difference and do good unto others.

Every year at the time of Eid-ul-Azah we pick a specific area that is dominated by the laborers community and distribute among the children new clothes and toys so that they too can join in the celebrations of Eid. We also include the children’s’ ward and Thalessemia Centre at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in our distribution activity.

This year we distributed 250+ cloths, many toys in the said areas and the remaining cash was given to the Eisaar Trust for its school for street children.

Meeting the Charge d affaires

Members of the club were part of an exclusive meeting with the ChargĂ© d’affaires Ambassador Richard Hoagland. The invites were sent by the US Consulate Lahore. Among the many different topics that were discussed in the meeting, the members introduced RAC Lahore & its activities as well. 

Movie Club

We have started a movie club of sorts where we try to screen topic oriented movies. Mostly so far the screenings have been associated with the topic of environmental sustainability. However, the project is still in its infancy and we intend to turn it into a permanent feature of our club.
