“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.”

                    -Plato-

It means we can imagine and think various thoughts while listening to meaningful songs and music. Without music, it isn't easy to calm our minds. That’s why Leo Club of University of Colombo organised a street music event for people with busy lifestyles. The event, known as ‘Street Beats’, wasn’t just about going somewhere and singing songs. It was organised to raise funds for upcoming projects of the club.

We all know that fundraising requires various activities, events, and projects. But we wanted to think beyond tradition, and this was the best suggestion we chose from many ideas. After selecting the street music event for our fundraising, we encountered another issue: What is the best location for the event? Problem solved. We decided that Galle Face was the most suitable place, as many people from urban areas come there to escape their busy lives and enjoy some relaxation.


 On the evening of 14th September 2024, our members and music team arrived at Galle Face with musical instruments. There were many kids, elders, and young people enjoying themselves. After selecting the best spot, we began our ‘Street Beats’ event. As our music team performed, people were drawn to this special and unexpected event. They enjoyed the songs we sang, and we could feel their appreciation through their feedback. We also sang songs that most people knew, so they sang along with us. 

It was a wonderful experience for both us and the people. We performed several times in different spots around Galle Face."With every note played and every beat echoed on the streets, music proves that it's not just an art form—it's a universal language that brings us all together."

          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
