It’s more than miscellaneous
By Marisa de Silva
“Miscellaneous 2005”, a day of fun and games organised by the Interact Club of Holy Family Convent (HFC) Bambalapitiya, will be held on July 24, from 9.30 a.m. – 3.30 p.m., at the Convent Auditorium. The project is aimed at bringing together interactors from all parts of Colombo, to foster the spirit of togetherness through fun and sportsmanship.

Forty Interact Clubs in Colombo have been invited to participate in this project, which hopes to emphasise the acceptance of individual responsibility and focus on developing personal integrity and leadership skills amongst participants.

This project comprises a programme of indoor and outdoor games, which are extremely fun, yet educational, which makes this project all the more unique. It has been organised with the co-ordination of a group of talented, dedicated and capable A/L students, who have planned it diligently and meticulously right up to the very last detail.

“It has been a dream of mine to organise a project of this nature and I would like to thank my project committee for all their help in making this a reality. Almost always we tend to spend a lot on organising projects and that’s why I think that this project is really special. Not only did we spend very little in organising it but I’m also proud to say that the outcome of this project is far greater than any project HFC has planned before,” says Peummi De Silva, Project Chairperson.

“I personally think that we should always concentrate on simple projects of this kind which fulfil our Interact objectives, rather than focusing on huge projects!” she added.

“It’s been really fun planning “Miscellaneous 2005” especially as it’s my first big project as an Interactor and I’m really looking forward to organising and contributing to such projects in the future,” says Dinendri Indatissa. If you miss out on “Miscellaneous 2005”, you’re losing out on a lot, as it’s an expression of the true Interact Spirit, she added emphatically.

“It’s been fun getting to know the other Interactors through Miscellaneous – it’s been a whole new experience!!” chorus Dinesha Senaratne and Dinushka Jayawickrema. Yet another Interactor, Kumarini Rajakaruna says, “It’s going to be great and if you don’t make it on time you’ll be missing out on a lot!” Hope all those invited can make it, adds Kumarini. All participants will be presented with a certificate of participation.
