Some people arrive and make such a beautiful impact on your life; you can barely remember what life was like without them. Those are called friends. Kind hearted bunch of friends from Awakening Toastmasters club offered their helping hands towards one of the remote toastmasters clubs in Sri Lanka called Kekirawa Toastmasters Club.
Why Awakening Toastmasters visited Kekirawa Toastmasters Club?
All of us have different types of skills and abilities. But when you are in a trouble it’s very difficult to discover your inner traits. Kekirawa toastmasters club is also passing a very challenging time in terms of membership growth. Isolation created another struggle to retain the existing members. Friends of Awakening Toastmasters club offered their healing hands to tell that “you are not alone”. Simply their visit cultivated the positive thoughts among the Kekirawa members to think truly toastmaster friends are always there when needed.
Also their whole ambition was to motivate Kekirawa members to achieve their educational goals and succeed their career and personal life both.
What Awakening Toastmasters did on their visit?
There is a huge knowledge gap between Toastmasters clubs in Colombo area and Remote clubs. They don’t get much opportunities enhance their knowledge and explore the new world. In couple with that Kekirawa people was lucky to have an Educational Session, which was conducted by DTM Sheikh Ahamed about his experience in toastmasters and how he transformed.
Not only that all we were had very standard speech evaluations done by Awakening Toastmasters. That enlightened the members of Kekirawa, how to do an effective evaluations. Education and the knowledge is the back born of the quality and the standard. I would say the knowledge they gathered definitely will help for their club in future.
Toastmasters is not all about public speaking and leadership skills development. It is all about making better human being for this world. They challenge to the make this entire world as an enable place while not being unable. Always we need a help to develop further what we exist. It will give the advantages for both parties. Kekirawa benefited from the visit of Awakening Toastmasters and they also understood the challenges facing by the remote clubs. Now hope Awakening Toastmasters can make a master plan to have more and more engagements with distance clubs to make them comfortable in toastmasters.
We absolutely value the commitment that showed by the friends of Awakening Toastmasters.
You proved that the slogan of “Friends helping Friends “is a reality in Toastmasters.
