Lastly, we are pleased to announce the release of our club theme “
REINFORCE TO ACT AND seRVE”
Rotaract club of Dharan Ghopa is not just a club...there is a separate world within itself. Enthusiastic youths from different parts of the nation from various faculties have come together under the
Year 11 Volume : 1
July/ August issue
single roof.
ROTARACT CLUB OF DHARAN GHOPA
The aim for the reinforcement in Rotaract is to bind all the success and experiences that of the club and its members and then to disperse among us all to know the Rotaract or to follow the Rotaract. We all have the wishes and wants that has been lost within ourselves probably due to primary instincts and insignificant boundaries. Rotaract completely acknowledges the fact that life would be cloud nine if there is a grant for the things that we sigh for. Therefore, we-the rotaractors ally always, as a hope for those dreams and desires fulfillment.
Sponsored by : Rotary Club Of Dharan Ghopa Chartered Date : 29th June, 2004 RID 3292
Congratulations to the Board 2013-14 INSIDE
Another goal is to strengthen its dignity and pave to act on our motives. Our motives and goals are non other than to serve...serve ourselves to build us, serve the community and serve the world.It is the cause why we stand and why our club stands. what we want to achieve and will achieve after service is transcendence, the state of excelling beyond usual limits, state of being par excellence.

AWAKE
Smile On Your Eyes -Rtr. Ankita Rai
Staring at the ceiling all night long Didn't sleep a wink because I feared the world A coward patient who willingly aborted a baby Not caring about the life that she carried Nor being for her lonely soul Neither imaging the future they could have mould An ever so poor and heartless patients
-Rtr Aparna Ghimire
I do smile, When they touch my hands When they hold me tight, I have a promise to make To let them hear what’s outside To make them feel how’s it right They hear me smile
Nor can they repent for their sin
We know it well
Neither can they sew the blood they severed
It resides in the eyes
Hidden among us are so men so scary
Sight is darkness, But I see an insight
Destroys a girl's life without any mercy
A perfect being, I behold
Never realize ' its with life they are playing
A pure soul and a beautiful heart
Never regrets, repents yet are so proudly
Inquisitive eyes and grateful mind
All those scary thoughts kept me awake
I have to bestow rain today
So weak as a girl I have never felt.
Squeezing each droplet I hold
Had I been a boy would I have fought
I quench their thirst with all I have

From the Editorial and Publication Committee Finally the closing moment, which we have been eagerly waiting for the last two weeks. Our experiment in your hands, feels great! It is an experiment because when we set out to bring the first print version of this bimonthly publication of RACDG, sincerely speaking we had no idea in which direction we had to set sail in that ocean of uncertainty but today we are glad that somehow we came through. This endeavor of ours was greatly assisted by our “ god sent” friends and partners who we can’t thank enough. Hence , we thank our advisors, sponsors, printing partners, friends from Rotary and Rotaract club of Dharan Ghopa, Manoj dai , Mukesh dai and all our members. Being our first issue, all these late night work hours, missed deadlines, coping with the hectic schedule of medical school , and all ‘behind the scene stories’ of this issue will remain close to our hearts. HAPPY READING ,HAPPY DASHAIN & HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
It is a matter of immense pleasure for me to write for the SYNOPSIS, 1st bimonthly magazine of the Rota year 2013-14. It has already been two months of the tenure now. We have launched “Abhilasha Goat Project “ in this tenure along with continuation of PAILA, SAFE HANDS and others for the needy and underprivileged people of society. RI president Ron Burton has a theme “ Engage Rotary, Change Lives”. So let us engage Rotaract and change lives, the change for good. I heartily congratulate the editorial board for the first issue of the magazine and express sincere gratitude to all for their contribution in this issue. I wish you all Happy Vijaya Dashami and Tihar. Jay Rotaract!! Rtr. Ananta Aryal President (2013-14) RAC Dharan Ghopa

WELCOME TO ALL THE NEWBIES
Rtr. Bibha Pathak
Before writing about my tenure as the president , there is some history that all of us must know about. Rotaract Club of Dharan Ghopa, the first Rotaract Club in the Eastern region, was chartered on 29th June 2004 with just 13 members, of which 7 were Members: Rtr. Chiranjibi Patel from outside and 6 from BPKIHS itself under the presidency of Rtr. Bishnu Hari Pokhrel and RCC Rtn Dr. Sudha Agrawal. Under the guidance of Rtr. Subhas Piya, Rtr. Sunil Kr Sah then ADRR our club got its recognition in RI under RID 3290 . Rtr. Drishya Dhungana During my presidency our club jointly organized a mini Rotaract District Conference with Rotaract Club of Biratnagar . The same year we started conducting annual Rtr. Lalit jha Pindeshwor Health Camp and World Rotaract Week. The district conference of district 3292 in that year was organized in the same tenure. In those days, our club had Rtr. Pratik Chaudhary members, like me from the outside of BPKIHS. Now, members have been limited only coming from BPKIHS. Only two of us, Rtn Manoj Shrestha and I have been the Advisors: Rtr. Govinda Tiwari presidents from outside BPKIHS. Although I am not from BPKIHS, it is the Rotaract Club of Dharan Ghopa that makes Rtr. Sameer Kr Jha me so much attached to BPKIHS . Looking at the awards won by our club since many years, our club has caught the eyes of the world. Every year our club sets a new examRtr. Prabhat Sapkota ple. Every year the club gains a new height. I would like to give best wishes to the incoming president Rtr. Ananta Aryal and the entire board for a successful tenure. Lastly, I would like to wish all the members of Rotaract Club of Dharan Ghopa and the ones reading this article a Happy Vijaya Dashami !! SYNOPSIS YEAR 11 VOL 1

ABHILASHA targeted in Foklyan VDC, Railway and Panchakanya of Dharan is a long term community service project under International Service Avenue. It is primarily focused to uplift the underprivileged and economically challenged people and improve their standard of living. Along with creating an opportunity for self-employment to the family members. Under the first phase of this project we have distributed total of 12 she-goats of 5-7 months of age to five families in Railway area, four families in Foklyan area and three families in Panchakanya VDC. The monitoring team of Rotaractors, VDC representatives,Social Leaders and distinguished personalities has been formed. The distributed goats will be under the supervision and regular monitoring of our club. The family has to return back the first female goat child to the club and the former she-goat along with other babies will be permanently handed to the family. Thus the new baby obtained from the family will be distributed to other underprivileged families and so on. This project is initiated under the support of Friends of Nepal, New Jersey and Rotary District 7510.

And the Rotaractism continues… Rtr. Puja Pyakurel, PRO ''Fellowship through service'', ''Self-less service'', ''Think rationally and act globally''.. Somehow manage to get along with the central theme of word ''ROTARACT'' which indeed is quite difficult to encapsulate. Confining the unlimited coverage of services offered by Rotaract would be an injustice to its efforts and I bet if anyone would disagree. My attempt to express my views and feelings related to Rotaract are just for appreciating and encouraging all those who have interest in being a Rotaractor, else jotting down these feelings of attachment is impossible. ROTARACT!!! Just like any other dedicated fellow Rotaractor of mine, I, as well couldn't abstain myself from getting along with its magical charisma. I clearly remember my first event in Rotaract as a participant in Zonal COTS which I must say brought a big difference in me as I got to extend my knowledge of Rotaract. It can be said, the event lit a spark of acknowledgement which flickered by passing time and my involvement in Rotaract never diverged off the track, may be the reason being its dedication and pure services to uplift the turned down status and helping others become independent achievers. Different projects aiming to make special effort in changing lives are so appreciable that one would feel immense pleasure and satisfaction for those returns gifts of blessing hearts and incredible smiles that would encourage you much more ;despite of sufferings you undergo during any initiations. Rotaract provides you the platform to expertise your efforts from local to international level as well as guide you to broaden your vision and act along different interlinked channels and grow even more confident n potent. Needless to mention about surplus professional development skills. The only ‘funda’ required is you need to be truly influenced and involve actively in Rotaract to mark and achieve difference within you.. 'the real you'!!. Me, being a Rotaractor who has already come across these very phases of self-changes assure you all of the guidance and support from us, for you'll not only be contributing your self-less services to others but also will be achieving numerous benefits. Its the perfect time to join Rotaract and explore your potentials. .Remember the platform is around you; all you need to do is to just pull your accelerator and bring your life to a well-directed track. Our arms are always ready to welcome new ideas and new initiatives.
As per the commitment of Rotaract Nepal to the CLEAN UP NEPAL Movement, our club participated in this grand event with the purpose of eradication of pollution from Bagmati River and its surrounding areas. Many Rotaractors and the members of other organization reached the site early in the morning worked together on cleaning the area. It was an excellent opportunity to build fellowship between members of different clubs.
Just This Once
Rtr Jigyasha Timsina
Why is it so hard, for you and me to wear our real attire
Just this once listen
To give in to our heart's desire.
to the music in your heart and
Pretending has always been the rule
dance to its beat
"Embracing yourself " is just for fools
Let loose, greet no matter who you meet
Holding it all in, has been your life
Just this once
But trust me there never will be a time so ripe
let go all your ifs and buts
Shed your mask for just this once
Believe in yourself
let go of all your worries , just live your chance
All you got to do is trust
Explore the heavens, all those unreachable
And just this once gather the courage to live your life
Dream, Live, Realize
Just this Once....
Break the rules unbreachable Just this once be crazy and be a little wild
FEEL PROUD TO BECOME A ROTARACTOR...AND REMEMBER ONCE A ROTARACTOR, ALWAYS A ROTARACTOR!!! SYNOPSIS YEAR 11 VOL 1
