Project Suwadarani - දියවැඩියාවෙන් තොර හෙටක්

 2nd phase -  සුවසෙත

On the 31st of January 2026, the Leo Club of University of Colombo successfully launched "Suwa Setha," the second phase of the project "Suwadharani." This impactful initiative was held at the Pulinathalarama Temple in North Kalutara. The main objective of the "Suwadharani" project is to pave the way for a diabetes-free tomorrow by organizing dedicated medical clinics to support public health.

As the second phase of this mission, we conducted a comprehensive medical clinic for the residents of the area. With the active participation of qualified doctors, we performed diabetes screenings and blood sugar tests for a large number of participants. This project successfully brought essential healthcare services to the doorstep of the community, reflecting the deep commitment of the Leo Club of University of Colombo to humanitarian service 

Through this initiative, the people living around the North Kalutara Pulinathalarama Temple were given the opportunity to receive free diabetes testing and professional medical consultations. The success of this project was greatly supported by the expertise of the medical team and the invaluable guidance of the Venerable Maha Sangha. Their collaboration ensured that the clinic was organized effectively within the temple premises, reaching those who needed it most.

 

The entire program was a resounding success, allowing participants to not only get tested but also receive vital medical advice to manage their health. By providing this service, we were able to make a tangible difference in the lives of the local community. The Leo Club of University of Colombo remains dedicated to such noble causes and looks forward to implementing similar projects in the future. We invite everyone to appreciate and join us in celebrating the spirit of service displayed by our Leos.

  Plant a Hope 8.0 – Phase 1: Thuru Kapakaru “Nurturing two hundred small saplings into a future forest of giants”   Plant a Hope 8.0 concluded its tremendously successful first phase, “Thuru Kapakaru,” on January 10th at Polommaruwa Model School in Tangalla. This phase involved a large-scale tree plantation in partnership with the Hambanthota District Scout Association to plant 200 Mee trees. With a strong emphasis on sustainability, Thuru Kapakaru was not just about planting Mee trees; it was about fostering hope for a future that is greener, healthier, and thriving with ecosystems that were once lost and forgotten.

Apart from being an effective nitrogen-rich natural fertilizer, Mee trees also possess natural pe...

  Provides healing using yoga to seniors in society The increasing senior citizens demographics within our society points towards a pressing need for effective health initiatives that not only target physical health but even extend themselves towards addressing emotional and social needs. Senior citizens are often kit out with challenges such as mobility issues, ailments, stress, loneliness, and a lack of avenues for engaging in some sort of structured physical activity. Taking all these factors in mind, our group chose yoga as the bedrock for the initial stage of our proposed project. One reason that yoga is especially helpful to senior citizens is that, it is a means of exercise that is accessible to all. By improving the elasticity and strength of the body, senior citizens can avoid injuries that normally occur as part of everyday activities. Furthermore, because it has such strong mind and body benefits, yoga practice enables senior citizens to increase their resilience to ...
