The United Nations Club of Royal College which started in 1979 was one of the major clubs of Royal College from the start. The Objectives of the United National Club of Royal College are the objectives of the United Nations itself, being peacekeeping and security, human rights and economic development and humanitarian assistance.
For the year 2021 the United National Club has planned to carry out 11 projects in total but due to the current Covid-19 situation in the country a few of these projects will be carried out online.
The main projects for this year are Unity, Crave and Chairman’s Trophy. This project is carried out to bring in unity within the community. With the help of all five religious clubs in Royal College the United Nations Club will be sharing a few videos and posters to improve unity among the community. Crave is a fundraiser; an enticing virtual musical event featuring young and up-coming performers to collect the necessary funds for other community service projects. Chairman’s Trophy is an annual project which mainly focuses to improve the relationship between the clubs and the societies of Royal College. It’s basically a tap-rugger tournament where the winning club gets awarded with the Chairman’s Trophy. As the sub projects for the year 2021, the first project is the United Nations Awareness Programme which is an Awareness Program to all United Nations Clubs in Sri Lanka. Few members from the United Nations conducted a webinar to reach the United Nations Clubs in Sri Lanka to make sure they are on the right track.
