 Project Feel Free 2.0 – Phase 01 - මනෝත්තම

The greatest gift that can be given to a burning heart that has embraced a thousand sorrows is mental healing. The Leo Club of University of Colombo organized the Feel Free project for the second time with the aim of creating mentally awakened minds. The first phase of the project was successfully completed on the 23rd. This article is an attempt to bring you the details of our first attempt.
 
The first phase of our project is dedicated to the senior generation of the society. We decided to organize an entertainment program representing the senior generation for the first phase as there is a real need for mental health in front of them. For this we chose Horana Raigam Korala Social Services Association's Elderly Home. After selecting the elderly home, our project committee members organized the day for them right from the start of the program. Accordingly, we organized the program in such a way that they would present singing, playing and dancing in front of them and provide an opportunity to showcase their singing and dancing abilities. And we decided to help them as much as possible and for that we were able to get the contribution of the project committee members. Accordingly, we were able to outline a successful program as planned on January 23rd. 

Organized for the mental health of the senior generation, this phase went beyond our project objectives and also helped deliver many socially important messages. Those few hours spent with them are a good proof that by organizing such a program for the mental health of the elderly who are in the twilight of life, we have become close to them. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the members of the Leo Club of the University of Colombo who helped us organize these events, the staff of the elderly home who provided this opportunity, and the senior community who participated in this event. Our heartfelt thanks to all of you for your hard work and dedication to successfully complete this phase of the project.

The future of a country heavily relies on the quality of education it provides, and schools are at the heart of this system. In Sri Lanka, there are approximately 10,155 schools.

          Diyani 8.0 - Her Well (First Phase ) ~Access to basic sanitation should be a basic right, not a privilege~ Sanitation and hygiene practices are crucial for maintaining health and well-being, yet many people, particularly women, face significant barriers in accessing proper education and resources. Menstruation remains a taboo in many cultures, viewed as shameful or impure due to cultural and religious norms. This stigma prevents open discussions and limits access to information and resources. As the world observes International Menstrual Hygiene Day 2024 with the theme "Period Friendly World," the question remains: Are we ready to talk openly about periods? To address this, Leo Club of University of Colombo conducted "Her Well" on 11th October 2024, marking the first phase of Diyani 8.0. Held at Ihala Madampalla Ranasinghe M.V., the project aimed to raise awareness about sanitation and menstrual hygiene among students, targeting both boys and girls to br
