It was not all seriousness and solemnity. The event was much awaited for its Raffle Draws and Games where Rotaractors can win GCash Load and Gingoog Local Products. Director Francess Awatin from Rotaract Club of Carmen Valley served as the Game Master and set off the virtual crowd with his amusing sense of humor. 

Overall, DRIAS 2021 was a meaningful and worthwhile experience as we have proved that we can connect people, deliver our message and spark change even in the midst of this global pandemic. Madagway Adaw ha inyo alan!
