RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) is an intensive leadership experience organized by various Rotary and Rotaract clubs and districts around the world where you develop your skills as a leader while having fun and making connections.
The Brave Heart Fund has been the backbone of many families, and has been supporting them in their needed interventions and surgeries, which have become very costly. On the 4th of of February, Rotaract Club de Beyrouth organized a one of a kind Fashion Show Fundraiser at "Casino du Liban". All the event’s proceeds were aimed at covering children's heart procedures. The club managed to raise over 10,000$ in contribution to the Brave Walk Fund.
This Fashion Show however, goes beyond the scope of a typical fundraiser. Through this national event, we were also supporting Lebanese local production and young talents. We intentionally aimed to highlight the many talents of the Lebanese youth and of Lebanese designers in this Fashion show, as we firmly believe that the future of this nation lies in the support of its local artistic production. Rotaract Club de Beyrouth, representing the Lebanese youth that continue to believe in a better and hopeful tomorrow, planned to host an event that at a never seen before scope and level, at a level that brave heart and it’s cause deserve.
. TBeside the community service and finance committees working very hard to make this event possible and to reach its goal, the PR committee managed to secure many sponsorships to make this event come to life and support the brave heart fund like Murex, LIA Assurex, Patchi, Zaatar w Zeit, Pikit Convenience Store, and Alaa El Samer Hairdressing Makeup. We also had the support of Red Cross which provided personnel to ensure a safe and smooth experience for all our guests. Lebanese media showed their support to young Lebanese community service initiatives as our members were hosted on Tele Lumiere and live on Tele Liban, along with Virgin Radio’s advertisement, Nidaa Al Watan coverage, and Beiruting live Instagram coverage.
Rotaract Club de Beyrouth was supported by the Rotaract community and the entire Lebanese community. Members from other clubs supported our initiative nationally and internationally by participating as models and by publicizing it further. No door that we knocked rejected our efforts. This project reminded us of exactly what it means to be a Rotaractor and that Rotaract remains the place for us to turn our passions and hobbies into huge impactful journeys.
To the members of Rotaract Club de Beyrouth, the club of my heart, you remain the biggest inspiration of all, and the efforts of each and every one of you, is what made this even a slight possibility. Dream bigger and aim higher always, there are no limited, De Beyrouth.
This project is a Club Service project that bought the members closer by getting to know each other’s reading preferences. February 19 is the National Book Giving Day of Armenia and Rotaract Club of Yerevan organized an in-club book exchange activity. This day is dedicated to the birthday of the famous writer, poet and activist Hovhannes Tumanyan and has become a tradition of exchanging books among people of all ages.
