The phenomenal journey of the Leo Club of University of Colombo began on the 25th of June 2015 with 22 members. Currently UOC Leo Club in Leo District 306 C1 operates with around 120 members across all the faculties of University of Colombo.
In the beginning, the club was initiated based on The Faculty of Management and Finance under the leadership of Charter President Leo Nimesh Jayasinghe and team. During the five years journey, each leoistic year was led by great leaders named as Leo Migara Dinendra, Leo Tharindu Jayasinghe, Leo Isuri kotuwewatta and Leo Sandun perera respectively.
The Leo Club of UOC, performs with the objective of providing youth of the world with an opportunity for development and contribution individually and collectively as responsible members. During the past 5 years of the journey, the club contributed to the community throughout various service projects.
The club was able to lay the foundations of vast number of valuable projects which has deep rooted impact on the community during these five years of excellence. Our club was awarded and appreciated as the most outstanding Leo club in Leo district 306C1 and the first runners up in the Leo Multiple District 306 Sri Lanka, for two consecutive years.
We reminisce the proud moments that were sparkled in our Leo diaries over the past five years. Though we are unable to celebrate the anniversary with a huge gathering due to the present situation of coronavirus pandemic, we conducted this great celebration through virtual platforms with a video series which awoke our past memories with great leaders. This anniversary recalls the history of UOC Leos and illustrate our remarkable journey during the last 5 years. In addition, it would be an inspiration for the next generations to come!
