Based on the concept of 'Tomorrow without Cancer', the Leo Club of University of Colombo was able to successfully complete the project Alert 5.0 in three phases. The Leo members would like to acknowledge that the large number of sponsors who were there from the beginning to the end has been a major factor in its success.S G Actuarial Consultancy ( Pvt) ltd, was the main sponsor and it is a company which offer Risk management consulting services and training courses. Astron Pharmacy was the co-sponsor of this event.

 Today's society is primarily prone to many diseases due to the lack of awareness among the people about the disease.  An awareness program was successfully completed on 30th October 2021 with the participation of over 200 people via zoom platform. The zoom session was conducted by Dr. Sanjeewa Gunasekara, a Paediatric Oncologist at Maharagama National Cancer Hospital. The Leo members would like to thank him for his unconditional support.

 


With the successful completion of 'Prana Suraksha', the first phase, the organizing committee paved the way for the second phase of the project, 'Apeksha'.  They were able to successfully conclude the phase by providing necessary medicines and essential items with the kind help of many donors. A large quantity of materials was gifted to one-hundred and twenty five children on 23rd December 2021. The Leo members would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to all those who contributed to this great hospitality towards the children.

 

It is a well-known fact that children not only suffer from malignant tumours but also they surfer mentally.  The third phase of the event was successfully held on 30th December 2021, at the Apeksha Hospital, Maharagama, where more than five-hundred books were donated to the Children's Library of the Hospital.  Undoubtedly, this will contribute to the healing of the thoughts of young children who are receiving medications. 


Once again, the Leo Club of University of Colombo  extends their heartfelt thanks to all the sponsors, staff of the Maharagama Apeksha Hospital and all the Leo members who joined with them in successfully completing this great cause of humanity, even at a time when the world faces a pandemic.
