Leo Club of University of Colombo

  The Alert 5.0 project, organized by the Leo Club of the University of Colombo, which operates under District 306 C1 in Colombo District, is planned to be implemented in three phases, striving to add a sense of purpose to life.   Accordingly, with the successful completion of the first phase of the project, 'Prana Suraksha’, the Leo members prepared for the second phase of the project. You all know how tragic childhood cancer is and that it is spreading rapidly in the society at present. The number of childhood cancer patients diagnosed day by day is increasing. The second phase of the project was named 'Apeksha' with the aim of adding another day to the fate of those little flower buds who are the owners of tomorrow.   A program to donate toothpaste, face masks and other essential items and to donate essential medicines required for those pediatric wards was held on 23rd December 2021 with the participation of members of the Leo Club of University of Colombo.   We are ple

Blindness is a major cause of concern around the world today, and it is mostly caused by corneal impairments. Just like any other body organ, the cornea of the eye can also be donated after death, which will give vision to the blind, and these donated eyes are used to restore vision in people suffering from corneal blindness. Most of these impairments are curable, especially through eye donation, which refers to donating one’s eyes after death. The main objective of this phase was to restore vision in people suffering from corneal blindness. Apart from that donors were able to donate tissues and full body parts as well. These eye donor registration programmes were conducted both online and onsite. The online programme was conducted through google forms, while the onsite programme was conducted on National Eye Donation Day (18 th December 2021) at Bellanvila Raja Maha Viharaya from 9am onwards. The main reason behind conducting two programmes online and onsite was that we needed to rea

The project, "Miles of Smiles 3.0" is being implemented by Leo Club of University of Colombo with the noble aim of empowering the little ones who are striving to conquer the world in the face of various obstacles. As our first phase, we executed a social security programme for Isura child development center in Siyabalape and Mawpiya Sevana child development center in Gonapala through Zoom platform, which was successfully concluded on 13th November 2021 with the support of Mrs. H. Renuka Hemamali (Chief Inspector of Women, Officer in Charge of the Women and Children's Bureau in Kalutara). We organized this social security programme to educate those children about society and to pave the way for them to contribute to the betterment of the society as good citizens. The second phase of this project was launched on Saturday, 4th December 2021 with the objective of empowering sixty-five children with special needs at the Wellassa Saubhagya Orphanage, which is an underprivileg

  “Diabetes is an all-too-personal time bomb which can go off today, tomorrow, next year, or 10 years from now – a time bomb affecting millions like me and the children here today.” - Mary Tyler Moore. Non communicable diseases are spreading at an alarming rate over the world. Over 18 million people die each year from cardiovascular disease, with diabetes and hypertension being major risk factors. As a result, diabetes is rapidly becoming a global health-care problem that threatens to become pandemic by 2030. So in order to subsidize in killing this silent killer, Diabcure team of Leo club of university of Colombo came up with the project Diabcure 4.0 which was implemented for the 4 th consecutive year. This was to be executed in three phases, where's the first phase has already been implemented on 21st of October, 2021 from 6 .30 pm to 7.pm virtually via zoom and Facebook live platform due to the restrictions imposed by government due to the prevailing condition of the count

Everyone should have a vision for the world and, soon, other planets and the universe in general. Because without vision, you have no idea what you are doing or should be doing. Your eyesight is one of your most important senses because 80% of what we perceive comes through our sense of sight, but at least 2.2 billion people worldwide have some form of near-or distance vision impairment, and a person's experience of vision impairment varies depending on many different factors. Therefore, the importance of keeping your eyes healthy is high since it keeps your brain healthy and improves your overall quality of life.  For these reasons, the Leo Club of the University of Colombo conducted an online awareness session as the first phase of the project "Be Their Vision 6.0" for the sixth consecutive year in the leostic year 2021/22 in order to protect the eye health of people, since sharing tips for protecting one’s vision is very important to maintain a healthy weight
