Joining Rotaract has been one of the best decisions I have made in my campus life, Felistus

It all started in 2015 when one of my friends Naomi decided she is dragging my friends and I went to a meeting she got in invited to. With all the first year campus excitement, psyche and curiosity (and our stupid selves had a 5D’s group name already) who were we not to show up.Haha. The only thing I remember about my first Rotaract Meeting is that we got lost trying to find Laico regency Hotel, (We visited the Rotaract Club of Nairobi Central), and so we basically argued our way there wrongly reading the google map from our phones.

A year later, I got to know of the Rotaract Club of the University of Nairobi. The Tibim Club!!The youthfulness, warm reception and of course lit campus vibes got me consistent to the club activities and meetings. My experience so far as a Rotaractor has blessed me with so much more than finding a pass time activity in school.

My Rotaract experience has been marked with community service activities, professional growth and most of all a lot fun and fulfilling friendships. Through engaging in community service activities, Rotaract has opened my eyes and heart to everything around me.My first community service was a tree planting activity along Nairobi River section on James Gichuru road.

To start with, it was my first time to use the UoN School bus, haha. The activity made me realise most times we neglect that which we should protect. Sunshine rally is of course a highlight in any Rotaractors’ life, the whole day experience with the kids makes one realise the so many blessings we overlook.

Most of my fun and awesome moments in Campus have been with Rotaractors. Most of my closest friends are Rotaractors, I ideally have a Rotaract family. So there’s definitely a lot of fun and a sense of belonging in Rotaract. Through Rotaract, I have met awesome kind souls who have mentored me in various ways. Quinter, a past director in my club basically pushed me to show up more, she actually assigned me some little tasks when I just joined the club and I eventually became consistent and passionate.

Professionally, Rotaract has equipped me with a lot of people and organizational skills. I have been serving as an International Service Director for my club since the year 2017/2018.In the same year, I served as the secretary for the Green Rotaract Concept. Working with Ignatius in GRC particularly challenged me on reliability, consistency and selflessness in service.

I am currently serving as the Country Treasurer and the experience so far has made me evaluate and better my financial management skills. To top it all, working with our passionate and very active Country Chair SK is a challenges me to be a better and accountable Rotaractor.

Now you know why they say I talk too much. Haha.

Cheers to Rotary and Rotaract world over.

Bless!
