A Note from the President
Who we are, where we came from, the crew flying this year, and how far we intend to go.
President · 2026-27
Dream, dream, dream. Dreams transform into thoughts and thoughts result in action.
I believe leadership begins with the courage to imagine what others may consider impossible — and the discipline to turn that vision into reality.
At the Rotaract Club of Colombo Port City, we are building more than projects. We are building people, ideas, friendships, and experiences that shape who we become.
This year is about thinking beyond convention, serving with purpose, challenging ourselves, and growing together.
Because limits only define us when we choose to accept them.
Lead Beyond Limits.
Danushkar Pushparajah
President | RI Year 2026/27
Who we are
A young club with the whole sky ahead of it
A community-based Rotaract club under Rotary International District 3220, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Colombo Port City. We bring together young professionals and changemakers from across Colombo who share one drive — to serve, to lead, and to grow together — channelling the Port City's own ambition into community service, professional development, international understanding, and fellowship.
