Club projects

Major club projects
University Based Club project
Ra’ey RCT club so far conducted various university based projects. For the past five years. Since the club established in Sidist kilo campus, the university based projects are concentrated in the university compound. And the club tries to identify major problems around the campus and work on that, for instance, graduating students mainly have financial problems in covering the expense for printing and copying their final senior essay and the club identify those students and try to cover their expenses by raising some funds. Apart from that, the club has organized blood donation events in the compound in collaboration with other clubs in the compound.
The other project activity the club use to takes place is, to help visually impaired students in exam times. That is, these students face challenges at exam times in getting volunteers who can help them to take the exam, and the club members volunteer to help these students.

Community Based Projects
The members of Ra’ey RCT club, are not only students, those who already have graduated also remain to be members of the club. This has obliged the club to conduct community service activities and widen its area of activity to community service projects.
One of its major ongoing projects the club carried out is, to support a nearby orphanage called Hana, both materially and mentally. That is, the Rotaractors at the campus tutor these orphans in their shelter after school every 3-4 days a week and help them with their education. Moreover, the club members support these children by celebrating major holiday’s eve with them, by giving them refreshments and other supportive educational materials and clothes.
The other project on hand is, to organize an interact club in Cathedral School. And currently we are recruiting the students and organizing a training induction program so that they can be able to familiarize themselves with leadership and community service activities and play an active role in their communities and also to try to establish contact with other interact clubs in the district to make a cultural exchange and learn their diverse experiences.
