Chief Seattle once wisely said, "Only when the last tree is cut down, the last fish eaten, and the last stream poisoned, you will realize that you cannot eat money." This poignant sentiment resonates deeply with the urgent need for environmental conservation, a call answered by initiatives like "Sindu Nala Raksha 7" second phase. Set amidst the majestic peaks of Sri Lanka's tallest mountain, the Ragalla, Nuwara Eliya, Piduruthalagala forest area boasts unparalleled biodiversity. Recognizing its ecological significance and vulnerability, a dedicated team launched a landmark reforestation campaign on April 27, 2024. Driven by a passion for environmental stewardship, the team strategically selected the Piduruthalagala forest area for intervention, backed by thorough research and on-the-ground insights. With a clear goal to restore degraded landscapes and enhance biodiversity, they embarked on an ambitious endemic tree plantation initiative. The success of the proje

    “We are only as strong as we are united and as weak as we are divided.” J. K. Rowling In a world often characterized by division and conflict, the concept of conciliation stands out as a beacon of hope. Whether it's resolving disputes between individuals, communities, or nations, the art of conciliation plays a crucial role in fostering understanding, harmony, and sustainable relationships. Within this landscape, projects focused on conciliation emerge as powerful instruments for positive change. The third phase of Prarthana 6.0, a project centered on conciliation with the goal of fostering oneness, was implemented successfully. The Leo Club of University of Colombo greatly values the ability to reconcile individuals without any form of discrimination. When every human holds others hands with warm hearts, the earth will become a paradise of phonics of peace. In the third phase, we organized a poster campaign that was published in public places and on social media. Wit

On April 29th, 2024, a remarkable transformation took place at Bellana Maha Vidyalaya in Matugama, due to the proactive efforts of the LEO Club of University of Colombo. In the third phase of Project One Drop 6.0, the LEO members took on the vital responsibility of restoring a sustainable water supply system for the school, which had been struggling from insufficient access to clean water due to malfunctioning equipment. The absence of a reliable water supply posed significant challenges for both students and staff at Bellana Maha Vidyalaya. Imagine trying to focus on learning without access to something as basic as clean water for drinking, sanitation, and hygiene. The situation was dire, affecting not only the educational environment but also the overall well-being of the school community.   Recognizing the urgent need for action, the LEO Club of University of Colombo sprang into action. Through collaborative efforts and community support, the club acquired a 1000-liter water tank
