This participation was the most (for Rotaractors of Tripureswor) for living our own club's theme "Care and Compassion" and also for achieving our District theme "Together we can make a Difference".


By participating on the rally, RC Tripureswor has shown its care to all HIV AIDS patience. Not only the club has shown its care but also has created the awareness in the society and its people by displaying the various placards which had contained the important message and information.


By participating in this event RC Tripureswor has definitely "took the lead" in a novel social issue.
