The chapter

From our beginnings as the Rotaract Club of Raffles Colombo to the community-based Rotaract Club of PanColombo, our journey has been shaped by service, resilience, fellowship and young people turning ideas into action.
Charter year as RAC Raffles Colombo. Chartered on 1 July 2019, with installation on 29 September. Despite limited resources, the club completed 17 projects and received the Rotaract District Citation.
Re-chartered as RAC PanColombo on 1 July 2020, becoming a community-based club. During the pandemic, 40 active members delivered 30 virtual and hybrid projects, including Spreading Smiles, Project BeLeaf and virtual Avurudu fellowship.
The club strengthened its focus on education, health awareness, environmental sustainability and inter-club collaboration across Sri Lanka.
With over 50 members, the club delivered 50 projects. Highlights included school supplies and washroom renovations through Spreading Smiles, healthcare support through Ray of Light and the expansion of PanColombo Sports Fiesta under #RoadToRCL.
Guided by the theme “Empowering Communities, Uplifting Lives,” the club led flagship initiatives across sports, community welfare and professional development.
Under the theme “United for Change,” the club focused on sustainable impact, member development and deeper community engagement.
Stepping into its 7th year, President Rtr. Julian Michael and Secretary Rtr. Binadi Almeida introduced the theme "Legacy in Motion", combining club tradition with bold new community initiatives and forward-moving service.
The journey continues. A new chapter focused on building on the club’s foundations, creating meaningful impact and preparing PanColombo for the leaders and members who come next.
