 Project One Drop 5.0 – Phase 02  Contamination of water sources suitable for human consumption has become an acute problem in Sri Lanka. The One Drop 5.0 project, organized for the fifth time by the Leo Club of the University of Colombo, has succeeded in finding a solution to this problem. As the second phase of this project, a program was implemented to clean the area around a selected waterfall in Sri Lanka and make water sources suitable for the people. For this purpose, Imaduwa Galle was chosen to clean the area around Puswelkada Falls. The cleaning work around this waterfall took place on the 22nd of April 2023 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. 15 people, including 10 Leo prospectors and 5 other outsiders, participated in this event. This waterfall is used as the source to grant water in this area where nearly 50 families live. The removal of non-biodegradable wastes that have been released to the public in the area around this waterfall, the installation of environmentally friendly garbage

 Theertha- 3rd Phase of Project Kruthaguna 5.0 Through ‘’Theertha’’ the 3rd phase of project Kruthaguna 5.0, we needed to uplift the moral, emotional wellbeing of the elders residing in St. Joseph’s Elders Home. Elders should be given the opportunity to express their inner feelings; happiness, feeling of loneliness, love with the crowd around them. Rev. Sister Superior Sajeewani provided us the information and through her guidance we were able to identify the major needs of the elders residing in this place. On 22nd April 2023, our team went there with full of hopes and we were able to donate essential dry rations, few essential medicine and other materials which were needed for this place. After the Covid pandemic they had been unable to interact with the outsiders. They were so pleased when we arrived. Rev. sisters look after them with loving kindliness. Since they’ve been deprived to live with their families, we needed to make them feel they are valuable, important age group in the

 ALPHABETZ – “Learn Today for Better Tomorrow” "Alphabetz" is a six-phase project organised by the Leo Club of the University of Colombo. This ongoing project which started last November was completed in six phases by April 2023. Also as Leos, from this project, we have decided to re-ignite the route of young children's English understanding, which was stolen due to several social and economic challenges which occurred in Sri Lanka in the recent past. As the Leo Club of the University of Colombo Leo District 306 C1, we opt for CP/M/ Laliambe Primary School for this endeavour because children in this school are from low-income families who found it difficult to learn. We chose kids in grades three, four, and five. Our purpose was to present them with knowledge that was not uniform. The basic facts that children need to know about the English language have been covered in this workshop while discussing it. We conducted a variety of activities during this program. Little chi

 Miles of Smiles 4.0 phase 3 As Nelson Mandala said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." We all understand the value of education. During this economic downturn, many children have stopped attending school because they cannot pay the costs of the stationeries and are unable to afford the supplies they need. Therefore in this phase, we chose a school where students from low-income families and we decided to donate stationery to them. As Leos, we want to provide a solution and give back to the education of these students. We selected Diamond Jubilee School in Panadura. About 201 students are attending this school. When we first visited the principal of the school, we inquired about the necessary school supplies that students required.  The principal provided us with a list of stationery items such as A4 bundles, world maps, Sri Lankan maps, graph papers, colour boxes, mathematical instrument boxes etc. After some discussion, we decid

Miles of Smiles 4.0 phase 2 Children may benefit significantly from organized athletics in terms of their physical health, cognitive development, psychological health, and social interaction. Children who participate in sports develop emotional regulation skills and learn to use their negative emotions for positive purposes. Children who participate in athletics improve their resilience and self-confidence. Additionally, cricket is one of the most popular sports in Sri Lanka and has an enormous following. All youngsters dream to play cricket during their time in school, but some of them cannot realize their aspirations. This is Miles of Smile 4.0's second phase, which primarily focuses on young people who aspire to be all-around athletes. Every child has a different set of dreams; they are not all the same. We try to temper the sporting dreams of some children because some want to be teachers, some want to be athletes, and some want to be artists.  In order to realize these childre
