“Mathin Thora Hetak” Phase 2 - Drawing arts demonstrate the impact of the drugs and handing leaflets to conscious individuals Leo Club of the University of Colombo continues with its effective anti-drug abuse program, Phase 2, themed “ Mathin Nidahas Samajayak” (A Society Free from the Chains of the Mind). On February 25, 2026, we switched to community awareness whereby we used creative arts and other educational materials to emphasize the devastating nature of drugs. Our enthusiastic group revealed a magnificent masterpiece at Kotahena Sinhala Kanishta Vidyalaya, the brilliant depiction of the terrible devastation drugs leaves on the precious lives, families, and colorful communities . These dramatic, monumental drawings, full of outrageous emotion and rough authenticity, were electric signs of warning, of fireside conversation and of a sense of exigency in the minds of the open-eyed students and the curious passers-by to become champions of prevention.

  Hope Beyond Probation: A Step Toward Social Reintegration Through WISADAMU On the 27th of February 2026, the WISADAMU project successfully carried out a meaningful and transformative programme at the Lawris Child Development Centre. This phase was specially designed for female probationers under the age of 18, with the aim of empowering them through legal awareness, emotional engagement, and career development support as they prepare to reintegrate into society. Understanding the sensitive nature of working with probationary children, the programme began with interactive games and activities. These activities were intentionally designed to create a safe, friendly, and non-intimidating environment. Beyond being icebreakers, the games helped us understand the girls’ emotions, thoughts, and perceptions, particularly how they feel about the general law of Sri Lanka and its relevance to their everyday lives. A female lawyer conducted an informative and sensitive legal awareness se...

Beyond the Shelter

  Beyond the Shelter Healing the Invisible Wounds of Cyclone Dithwa   When we think of a disaster like Cyclone Dithwa, we picture the obvious: uprooted trees, damaged homes, and flooded roads. We see the relief camps, the dry rations, and the temporary roofs. But what about the screams that wake someone up in the middle of the night? What about the anxiety that grips a parent’s heart every time the wind blows a little too hard? These are the invisible wounds, the ones you cannot bandage, but desperately need to heal. While rebuilding homes is the first step, rebuilding a sense of safety in a human heart is the true challenge. Recognizing this urgent need, the  Leo Club of University of Colombo  stepped beyond the distribution of supplies to touch the human soul. On the  15th of February , inside the old hostel building of Sri Chandananda Buddhist College in Haragama, Kandy District, the atmosphere was different. It was quiet. It was safe. It was un...

Nearly 200 individuals stepped forward to receive professional eye examinations and proper eyewear support. For many, this was not merely a routine checkup but a life changing encounter a moment when blurred outlines turned into clear horizons.

  Pulse of Care: Strengthening Lives Through Compassion and Community Action   Health and mental wellness remain essential pillars of a thriving society, yet awareness about preventive healthcare practices and access to life-saving resources are often overlooked. Among these, voluntary blood donation stands as one of the most powerful acts of compassion, directly supporting patients who depend on safe blood transfusions during medical emergencies, surgeries and chronic illnesses. Promoting awareness about regular donation not only strengthens healthcare systems but also fosters empathy, responsibility and collective well-being within communities. Recognising this vital need, Leo Club of University of Colombo successfully conducted the first phase of its Health Awareness and Mental Wellness Initiative, “Healing Aura,” titled “ Pulse of Care ,” on 17th February 2026 at the Faculty of Management and Finance (FMF), University of Colombo. The programme was organised with the ob...
