“In our society, letting others find out what you are thinking is a very risky thing to do. It is an even bigger risk to put yourself out there and show that you care about something. But that is what being a leader means: risking everything to make a difference.” Ever heard of this quote? Maybe not, if you are not an anime fan. But I am certain this certain individual must have come across this saying. It is my honor to introduce you all to Rtr. Vimeth Athukorala, The Vice President of the Rotaract Club of SLIIT for the year 2024-2025

For those who have crossed paths with Vimeth, his presence is nothing short of calming and inspiring. With a knack for infusing humor into every interaction, he has a remarkable ability to put people at ease. But don’t be fooled by his easy going demeanor—Vimeth is a powerhouse when it comes to IT and content creation. If you’ve ever seen our TikTok page or admired our social media content, you’ve seen Vimeth’s handiwork. His skills as a content creator, photographer, and graphic designer are nothing short of extraordinary.

Of course, no discussion of Vimeth would be complete without a nod to his anime obsession. If you’ve ever been cornered by him at a club meeting or event, you’ve likely heard him passionately discuss his favorite series. His love for anime is as intense as his dedication to his role, and it’s a joy to see someone so enthusiastic about their interests.

And let’s not forget the infamous SYNERGIST project, where Vimeth was hilariously coerced into dancing. Despite his valiant efforts to escape the spotlight, he embraced the challenge with a mix of humor and perseverance, showcasing his willingness to go above and beyond for the team.

Reliable and steadfast, Vimeth is someone you can always count on. His commitment to helping others and his support make him an invaluable member of our Rotaract family. As we look forward to another year of exciting projects and initiatives, it’s clear that Vimeth Athukorala will continue to be a cornerstone of our success.
