In my first year last semester I joined with AIESEC the awesome organization. First I worked under Poornima who was the Team Leader of Fusion 2.0 project which was about cultural sharing as a member.There I had to perform number of tasks which were out of my comfort zone. Working with Foreign under-graduates was the most interesting part of that project for me. While doing school sessions acting as AIESEC as well as university representatives gives a lot of experiences and of course the confidence. Participating for all projects was my target and finally I could achieved it. We did Fusion cultural show in Mahamaya Balika in Nugegoda one of the long lasting memory I have.

Then I became the Team Leader of INZPIRE 3.0 project. Which was the life changing project for me. Until I take that responsibility I did not know such a role I could play ever. From finding accommodation to last fare-well party I was there and collected everlasting experiences.

We did interviews with well-known Entrepreneurs and share their valuable experiences with school children. Actually I believe it did huge impact in school children’s mind to think about future in different angles.While I was doing this I got an opportunity to visit Knuckles and stay there one night with foreign undergraduates and few local friends which was an unforgettable experience for everyone. Where we marked our first step of adventurous trips. Coldness, sharing love, affection, determination, fun always there with us in that trip. Then we went Galle for an interview. Our journey turned into adventure by first step when we missed our night mail in our eye sight. Train carried all my local members there, I and my OCVP matching Amal was there and we had to go with our back-up plan. There I had to take dual responsibility. One to keep constant contact with my members in train and take EPs safely to Galle. I could do it.

We prepared our EPs for Global village event and to our delight it became most attractive performance in that day. We went Nuwara Eliya, Sigiriya, Negambo, Kandy, Anuradhapura and number of outings during that project. Every time we stayed at one of our member’s house and felt the awesome welcome every time.

Actually AIESEC became my life, it created everlasting friendships and memories. Actually AIESEC changed me for better. I love AIESEC.

University life is not only lectures, presentations, reports, exams and other academic related stuff. It’s a mixture of academic and other extracurricular activities. My university life would have been boring if not for AIESEC. Even though I have only 2 years experience upto now as an AIESECer it has already given me memories for a lifetime.

I joined AIESEC mistaking the organization as a charitable institute because I love doing charity. But with the time pass I got to know that my initial idea was not true but yet had to retain since I didn’t want to join another organization in the middle. While I was repenting on selecting this JXLDS 4.0 came. It was a Local committee conference and participated it as a delegate in 2014. Thanks for the conference I understood that there are many skills I have to develop to be a quality undergraduate and many responsibilities to deliver to the world I live as a citizen. Motivation was up and then got selected for my first ever project API 3.0 as an organizing committee vise president in matching. Yet had no idea what my role was. But because of my Co OCVP and other experienced team members explored another side which I have never seen before. That was my first GCDP project and was a milestone in my life. Developed myself a lot and identified many hidden potentials. We were the first to cover all 9 provinces in GCDP projects and I was ecstatic by our achievement. More over it gave me a family.

NATCON 2015 was the first national conference I attended and it showed me the path to build myself and to guide my members as a team leader. Then I was appointed as the team leader in an initiative project ‘ Green Footprints’. But to be honest I wasn’t a successful team leader. But again all the failures, problems came taught me a lot.

The biggest national conference NLDS 2015 was another milestone in my AIESEC story and I got selected as one co ocvps for delegates. I could step out of my comfort zone and I could develop many skills thanks to NLDS.

AIESEC will help you for sure to create your own demand by make you a quality undergraduate since it is the best platform to develop skills and identify hidden potentials. Also the best place for networking. And the best option to enjoy the degree.

It’s always good to be an AIESECer.
