In the last couple of weeks, lives of everyone have changed, fear and rules have overtaken their normal routines. Number of cases and deaths being reported increases by count day by day If not for the fear of being another victim of the corona-virus epidemic, you are bound to stay in your houses due to the quarantine process and the on and off curfew imposed globally. While, the optimists, may consider it an opportunity to take a break from all the busy schedules, reconnecting with their families, and finding time to engage in their indoor hobbies and interests, a majority consider it a burden to be stuck at home. But did you think, it only really depends on how far you're willing to embrace this sudden change?You could not meet your friends and co-workers for a very long time and probably be bored due to not being unable to go out, but this could be a great chance to find the things you actually enjoy doing, since almost everyone is stuck with doing something they don't enj

In Sri Lanka the Universal Free Education Policy was introduced by the government in 1945. It was designed in order to provide free education facilities to all students from Kindergarten to the University Education. Although there are several issues associated with the resources needed to obtain for the purpose of quality education in bucolic areas in Sri Lanka, according to the recent statistics 98.3% of children are enrolled into Primary Education or schooling.  However, it is also acknowledged that some children with particular characteristics are vulnerable to exclusion from school or might be prevented from completing a full basic education of good quality due to poverty & lack of resources.  Thereby, project “Together as Humans 4.0” was organized and executed under the project category of Quality Education and Literacy as the most awaited project of the year of Leo Club of University of Colombo for the 5th consecutive Leoistic year. Typically, through this signature project

Mother nature has started to punish all the human beings for their evilness and this time the punishment is severe and the whole world has knelt before her punishment: COVID 19. Even “developed” countries are very helpless. It is somewhat funny to see how some so-called “human rights friendly” countries have decided not to treat people with down syndrome since they are no use for the country’s economy. Also, when some “developed” countries have ignored the safety of their citizens and act in a careless way without taking a single action for the protection of citizens, when some countries have decided to treat only for elite class of the society, when some countries do not let patient even to reach near a hospital without a health insurance, when some countries have given up treating new patients, it is so surprising the effort which is taken by our heroes including all the soldiers, medical and health service staffs, members of police and all other public servants to ensure the safety
