       Cultivating a Greener Tomorrow - The Leo Tree Plantation Challenge 2024 🌍🌿 

'Plant a tree today, and plant hope for tomorrow' 

In a world where urban jungles are rapidly replacing natural forests, the call to action for environmental stewardship has never been louder. This is not just a project; it’s a promise to the Earth, a commitment to our future, and a testament to the power of youth in driving change. What began as a simple idea a call to plant trees quickly evolved into a global movement, uniting Leos from around the world under a common banner of environmental responsibility. The challenge aimed not just at increasing the number of trees but at cultivating a deeper connection between people and the environment. Each tree planted symbolizes hope, resilience, and the collective power of individuals to shape the future.

In an inspiring effort to foster environmental stewardship and community engagement, the Leo Club of the University of Colombo recently did a significant tree planting project under this global challenge named “The Leo Tree Plantation Challenge – 2024” at Sri Sumangala Balika Maha Vidyalaya, Panadura. This initiative, supported by a diverse group of local resources and partners, is set to make a lasting impact on both the school and the broader Panadura community and also whole world. Students, the heart of this initiative, are not just participants but enthusiastic contributors, bringing energy and a sense of purpose to the project. Their involvement is crucial, as it provides the manpower needed for planting and nurtures a lifelong commitment to environmental conservation. The school’s Environmental Pioneer Brigade brings valuable expertise and practical assistance in planning and executing environmental initiatives. Their experience in handling environmental projects ensures that the tree planting effort is well-organized and impactful. Together with the committee and members of the Leo Club of University of Colombo, this collaborative effort ensures the project’s success through effective leadership, coordination, and active participation. The Leo Tree Planting Challenge not only aims to enhance the local environment but also to instill a sense of environmental responsibility among students and the global community.


As we look forward to the positive outcomes of this project, it is clear that the combined efforts of the school, parents, students, and the Leo Club of University of Colombo will make a significant and lasting difference. By coming together to plant trees, we are not only improving our environment but also setting a powerful example of how collective action can drive meaningful change.

The Leo Tree Plantation Challenge 2024 is an ongoing journey, and it’s one that invites everyone to participate. Whether you’re planting your first tree or your hundredth, you’re part of a movement that’s making a tangible difference in the world.


let’s keep planting, nurturing, and growing because every tree is a testament to our commitment to a greener, healthier, and more sustainable world. Together, we’re not just planting trees; we’re cultivating a future where humanity and nature coexist in harmony.

          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.
