UoM LEOs

HARITHA SISILA

“Until you dig a hole, you plant a tree, you water it and make it survive, and you haven't done a thing. You are just talking." The world is dying without water and people still cut those trees which are the main source in the water cycle and wipeout forests from the land. The world is becoming a concrete forest quicker than man evolution.

We just have to find solutions to this and as UOM Leos we took our first step in making a greener world by planting trees. Project Haritha Sisila was held on 16th September at Sri Sobhitha Vidyalaya, Watareka, Galle as the first but not the last in our mission.

The project was done in association with the Central Environmental Authority. Galle District Girl Guides also participated in this project other than UOM Leos and 30 trees were planted throughout the school area. The project was done in parallel to the National Tree Planting Day and our belief is that it should not just be limited to a day. So we are encouraging all of you, just try to plant at least one tree.

“Trees exhale for us so that we can inhale them to stay alive. Can we ever forget that? Let us love trees with every breath we take until we perish.” Just take a moment and think about it.
