Sri Lanka is a country of and Green
surrounded by the glowing Blue water…. Agree??
Of course, And rivers,
waterfalls, and lakes makes it living .
Have you ever heard about the largest natural fresh water
lake in Sri Lanka???
Yeah I know it’s a quite hard question…
But I bet you will
surely be surprised when you get to know the answer.
It’s BOLAGODA LAKE
Yeah it’s hard to believe that the largest natural fresh
water lake covers the western province mostly..
But it is…
And most interestingly it touches the borders of University
of Moratuwa.
As we all know western province still keeps its record of
belonging the most polluted environment in Sri Lanka.. So , is Bolagoda lake ,the largest fresh water
reservoir is properly conserved??? Or
its banks are protected from erosion???
We UoM LEOs were concerned and launched “Haritha” , the mangroves planting program on 3rd of October 2015at the bank
of Bolagoda lake. The young hearts who love the Lake BOLAGODA gathered around LEOs and completed another
successful chapter of contributing to serve Nature and Green Sri Lanka.

Api Akurata Mali Nowemu
Since it is the month of October, only few weeks
remain for the upcoming o/l exam. So UOM
Leos decided to give a helping hand for the students who are facing o/ls. This
seminar series was organized in two phases. On 5th of October 1st
phase of the seminar series was held at Hinnarangolla central college at
Welimada. Next phase was at Ha/Getamanna dakuna maha vidyalaya on
27th of October. Seminars were conducted from 8.30 am to 2 pm. At the first session papers were
distributed among students and gave them a chance to find answers, finally the
marking schemes were also distributed.
After the
paper discussion, it was the time for sharing experiences.
“I know a lot of you
may be very stressed about the upcoming exams, I remember how stress I was
myself back in grade 11,but as long as you are starting to go through your
notes you'll be fine “
Those words
of UOM Leos were a motivation for those students. As we all know, when Exams are
only a few weeks and as is usual we all start to stress a little, even for who
have been through the exam system before.So we had to make their minds too. At the end of the day we
were able to make them more confident for their exams.
Around
The Fort
Do you love
challenges?
“Challenges
are what makes life interesting.Overcome them is what makes life
meaningful.” --Joshua J. Marine
We don’t
grow when things are easy. We grow when we face challenges. So, always try to
face challenges.
Around the Fort was a great chance for the people who were seeking
to face curious challenges. It was held on 18th of October 9a.m. at Galle
Dutch Fort. As world archaeology day falls on month of October Leo clubs of
districts 306 A1,A2,B1,B2 have given their contribution to organize this event.
Teams were organized with 5 members. According to the map, teams had faced
series of challenges around the Fort. There were balloon games, poster drawing
events and many interesting games. Sponsors for this event were Target Media, Allianz,
Ceylon investment group(Pvt) Ltd. Cash prizes were awarded for the 1st
place - 10000LKR 2nd place -
7500LKR 3rd place -
5000LKR.We are proud to say that one of our UOM Leo teams has won the 1st
runner’s up.
Team spirit was highly required for all the teams throughout
the day. That day was really a remarkable day for all the participants as all
of them had enjoyed a lot from the games and fun events.
Spend each
day of life with challenges. Don’t limit your challenges. Challenge your limits….
Pubudamu Mal Kakulu
It is been said that there
is nothing purest than a child’s mind. But, as adults, we should be more
sensitive to identify their minds. So on second of October, UOM Leos was lucky
to see the deepest thoughts and feelings which are hidden in inside some purest
minds.
It was a children’s
programme with the small children in Bodiraja vidyalaya, Katubedda. For UOM Leos
who gathered there, that was a reminiscence of their good memories of the
childhood. The arts that were born by the hand of those children were a
reflection of their thoughts, feelings and emotions. They showed us how they
see the world.
These days everyone
talks about bad influences for children from adults. These all problems which
are faced by children, happens because adults do not try to understand children
or do not interact with them in a way that children can understand. So this
programme was a bridge that connected two worlds for a one moment – the world
of young generation and the world of the children.
So it is everyone’s
duty to help children to grow up. Let them to be ‘children’ ... Let them to
feel the freedom in childhood…. Every noble person and every criminal owns
childhood… So it is adults who make a demon or an angle from a child….So gather
to make an angle….
