 සාක්ෂර Book Donation-"Building Dreams, One Book at a Time"

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world,"

                                                                                    -Nelson Mandela-

In our ongoing journey towards enhancing quality education and literacy, the Leo Club of University of Colombo proudly presents the second phase of our initiative - සාක්ෂර Book Donation. Through this phase, we aimed to bridge the gap in literacy and empower underprivileged students with the gift of knowledge.

Our committee members tirelessly delivered books to several schools in need:

·         Northern Province: KN/ Pallai Hindu Primary School

·         North Western Province: Ch/Sirisujatha Adarsha Vidyalaya, Kakkapalliya

·         Uva Province: B/ Karandagolla Vidyalaya

·         Central Province: Puwakpitiya Eswaththa Kanishta Vidyalaya

But our efforts didn't stop there. Recognizing the importance of not just books but also the tools to utilize them. On March 23rd, 2024, Together as Humans 6.0 went a step further by providing not only books but also a complete stationery pack to 50 students at G/Batukanaththa Kanishta Vidyalaya in the Southern Province. This main book donation ensures these students have the tools they need to succeed in their academic pursuits.

The සාක්ෂර Book Donation program recognizes the importance of both knowledge and its application. As Malala Yousafzai states, "One child, one teacher, one book, and one pen can change the world." By providing books and stationery, සාක්ෂර book donation is equipping students with the resources they need to learn, explore, and reach their full potential. Together as Humans is helping to build a brighter future for Sri Lanka, one book at a time.

          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.
