By -

 “Walking Heart: Lighting a path of hope and confidence for the visually impaired.”

The Leo Club of University of Colombo started the "Be Their Vision" project with the aim of helping hand to the blind and visually impaired people in Sri Lanka who need help. On January 24th of 2024, first phase of the "Be Their Vision" project was successfully completed. We would like to express with great happy and humble pride that it was able to be done in a very effective and success manner as expected for the 8th time.        

The first phase of the Be Their Vision project called "walking heart" was carried out at the Colombo National Eye Hospital with the welfare of blind people perfectly. A donation of white canes was made to the National Eye Hospital.

Eye health within Sri Lanka remains a challenge, as the National blindness survey conducted in 2014-2015 showed that approximately 350,000 are classified as blind and another 340,000 are estimated to have severe vision impairment. More attention should be paid to the blind people and therefore, thinking about their welfare, we donation white canes to 20 blind people. The staff of the Colombo National Eye Hospital, including doctors, provided great support for this great task.

We would like to express our gratitude to all the parties who supported us in various ways to successfully complete the first phase of the "Be Their Vision" project, which was carried out for the benefit of the entire society for the needy blind people who need help in this way.

First of all, we would like to thank the director, doctors and entire staff of the Colombo National Eye Hospital for coming forward for the success of the project. Also, we express our happiness and gratitude for the support given by the Sri Lanka Council for the Blind in ordering and purchasing white canes. The committee members of Be Their Vision project played an important role by devoting themselves to its success and therefore we would like to highly appreciate them.

In this way, we are very happy to inform you that this great social service for the blind people held at the Colombo National Eye Hospital on January 24, 2024 from 9.30 am has been completed by the Leo Club of University of Colombo in a great way.

          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?
