First ever Key Club at OSC!




The Key Club is an international organization that supports students like us in leading and conducting community service based activities in order to promote character building and developing leadership. On the 24th of February, OSC appointed it's first ever Key Club board members.The Key Club in Sri Lanka is supported by an organization called Kiwanis, whose director and president graced this occasion in appointing the positions of the newly appointed leaders of Key Club in OSC, and Sri Lanka.

The previous day we had nominated and elected the board members and they were as follows:
President - Damien Martin
Vice President - Harini Liyanage (me!)
Secretary - Annie Gillstedt
Treasurer - Terunaga Tamura
Chief Editor - Heesoo Kim
Directors - Aparna Iyer, Maheshi Dharmasiri, Sandushi Pathirage, Keisha Gani, Avindhya Koralagamage.


I was extremely honored and proud to be elected this position and as the Vice President I know that I have many duties and responsibilities to fulfill. I plan to support and work collaboratively with the President and the other board members in further enhancing our Community Service programme in OSC. With the support of the other leaders of various Service activities who are all members of the Key Club, I think we can make a difference and strengthen our Service programs even more. It is really great that OSC has become a part of Key Club as we now have support of the wider international community in our various programs. We are really appreciative and grateful of our Service Supervisor Ms. Shameela Rajudin for introducing the Key Club to us.

My official duties were also introduced to me during the ceremony and I am willing and looking forward to completing them to the best of my abilities during my time in this club.
