Leo Infinity On March 6, 2026, Leo Club of University of Colombo brought a wave of excitement and renewed energy to Aluthwewa Kanishta Vidyalaya in Hambegamuwa, Thanamalwila. As part of their ambitious sports initiative, Leo Infinity, the club organized a heartfelt donation event that aimed to reignite the sporting passion among young students who had been sidelined for far too long. For the past four years, this rural school had been unable to host its annual sports meet. The reason? A complete lack of essential sports equipment. Talented kids with dreams of excelling in athletics, cricket, volleyball, and more were forced to sit on the sidelines or borrow gear from neighbouring schools just to get a taste of practice. It was a frustrating barrier, especially in a community where sports could be a gateway to confidence, teamwork, and even future opportunities. Spotting this critical gap, led by their dynamic president, Leo Miran Malinga. Under the banner of Leo Infinity, a massive p...

More Than a Mark Sheet. Why We Spent the Morning Reminding Students They Are Enough Imagine a classroom where the most important question isn’t "What did you get on the test?" but rather "How are you, really?" For too long, we’ve measured a student’s future by the ink on a mark sheet. But at Leo UOC, we believe that a healthy grade point average means nothing if the mind behind it isn’t at peace. That is the very essence of Project Healing Aura Phase 2, and under the banner of  Healthy You , we set out to prove that a student is a universe of potential,not just a number on a report card. On the morning of  March 12, 2026 , the halls of  President’s College (N/S), Kotte , weren’t filled with the usual rustle of exam papers. Instead, they buzzed with the energy of connection, understanding, and self-discovery. As the clock struck 8.00 a.m., the venue began to fill. Usually, a Thursday morning program is met with reluctance, with students dragging their feet ...
