  “ මතින් තොර හෙටක් ” Phase 1 Drug addiction is one of the most prominent social issues in Sri Lanka today, causing a wide range of health and social problems. Due to the harmful effects of this habit, many issues have arisen, particularly in the younger generation as more and more teenagers experiment with different substances. Seeing how important it is to protect our children, Leo Club of University of Colombo organized a project called “ මතින් තොර හෙටක් ” that consists of three main phases. As the project's first step, we planned a session to talk about the harmful effects of drugs. The event took place at the Piliyandala, "Senehasa" Rehabilitation Center on December 3, 2023. Mrs. H.A.A.M.C.

So, it is a very difficult time to satisfy the hunger of the people. This time, we the Leo Club of University of Colombo decided to put manuals in an activity to alleviate the hunger of people who are in economic difficulty. For that purpose, we have decided on the new series of events of project 'Nisagini', which is organized by University of Colombo Leo Club for the sixth time. So, 'Nisagini 6.0' started in November 2023. We organized this project in three phases. In our first phase, we decided to help a family with economic difficulties to harvest a fallow field. So, for that, we found a family in Wanduramba, Galle who haven’t sufficient income to maintain a paddy field. Then our committee decided on the budget by collecting more details, how we should raise funds for this event, etc. Then
