Shells Over Trash phase 2

Marine pollution has become a serious issue around the world today. It affects Sri Lanka greatly because the ocean around the whole island has been recognized as contaminated, hence threatens the lives of the ocean. Many endemic species have been included under the endangered category in the Red Data Book due to the marine pollution occurred recent past.





“Thousand miles begins with a single step” is a famous saying which is followed by UoM Leos. To minimize coastal pollution, UoM Leos launched the second phase of beach cleaning program, named “Shells Over Trash – Phase 2” on 24th August 2019 at Panadura beach. A Kite festival which was organized by joining hands with MJF foundation, has also been held parallel to the Beach cleaning activity to raise more awareness towards the program. The kites were built without using polythene or plastic as a symbol of our initiative towards a sustainable future without polythene.




We were able to clean the beach and also collected a lot of plastic and they were given to “ZERO TRASH” for recycling. “PICKME(SRI LANKA)” sponsored us in transporting these waste. The event concluded successfully with the participation of UoM Leos and prospects and the blessings of nature friends.

Sipmansala Phase 1

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”

“Sipmansala 2019” is a project launched by Leo Club of the University of Moratuwa to enhance not only the educational background but also the motivation of the students,
who are facing their GCE O/L examinations this year. The first phase of Sipmansala was successfully completed on 12 th of July
2019 at Narawala Maha Vidyalaya, Galle.

We also conducted a motivational program to build the mindset of the students through their
economic problems and others. Our leos encouraged students to make a better version of
themselves. The seminar series is basically targeting the mathematics syllabus for upcoming
O/L examination. “Swasnaka Sansadaya” donates all papers which needed for this seminar.






After project completion, we saw the impact of the students’ satisfaction become more relevant.
We got very good comments from those children that inspired us more to continue the same
deed in the future. Finally, by conducting this project, we realized that true happiness can only
be found by helping others to find it.

Shells Over Trash Phase 1

“Every Piece of Trash you Remove Reveals Something Beautiful”

The first phase of Shells over Trash, a felicitous effort made by UoM Leos with the desire of conserving a pristine coastal line for the younger generations, was successfully held on the 14th of August at Crow Island Beach Mattakkuliya with the participation of Leos and prospects.

Rather than organizing an ordinary beach cleanup, this time we joined hands with ‘Zero trash’, who were willing to take over the plastic trash we collect and make yarns out of them. This branching out was able to furnish an effectual and convincing way of disposing garbage to the community. Further, through this project we were able to publicize the importance of moving into sustainable ways of waste management from the usual ways that cause long term issues.

Prior to the cleanup campaign, we had the opportunity of having a discussion about coastal pollution and remedies to be taken with the Crow Island beach park committee, who provided an immense support in organizing this event. During the day everyone was eager to contribute their best, finally to see a clean and tidy beach. At the end of a successful beach cleanup, sorted plastics were handed over to the “Zero trash” crew. “PickMe” (SriLanka) sponsored us in transporting the trash. Everyone was jovial to enjoy the evening breeze of a calm and peaceful beach. That was the end of another inspiring and highly appreciated project carried out by UoM Leos.

LEAP Phase 1

“Leadership is a way of thinking, a way of acting and most importantly a way of communicating.”

Leadership training provides leaders with the tools, knowledge and

ability to impact and inspire their followers. Leadership programs

provide the opportunity for leaders to sharpen their skills and share

their experiences with other leaders to mature in their effectiveness,

and they produce leaders that are able to lead with confidence and

ease.

                                                                                                            


Leo Club of the University of Moratuwa conducted LEAP phase 1 on 10th of August 2019 at MR/Ransagoda South Junior School.Leadership camps improve not only manners and behavior of students, but also personal morale and confidence.It consisted of leadership development activities, games and fun activities which made each and every student show their skills. Weather condition challenged us a bit, so we did them as indoor activities

At the end of the day we saw the faces of students filled with satisfaction on what they have obtained. The day remarked a successful and a happy ending along with the emotional, heart- warming feedback of the students who are ready to shoulder the future of this country as leaders.

Pause The Moment

4th of August was another unforgettable day to the Leo family of University of Moratuwa. It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us brothers and sisters. The journey with these brothers and sisters was filled with happiness and joy

This time, Leos of University of Moratuwa visited Ambuluwawa Temple as their annual trip. Ambuluwawa Temple is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful observation points in Sri Lanka, situated in Gampola. It is a must-visit place in the hill country. Though it was a bit difficult path to travel to the temple, the brotherhood and the power of giving helping hand among us made it easy.

The time, when we were sharing our ideas and experiences during the journey was wondrous. We joked with each other and sang together. Time secretly passed from us, but it had already added more sweet memories to the UoM Leos memory book. At the end of the trip, we were more familiar with each other and the bond among us has become more strengthen. After spending a cheery day with marvelous experiences, UoM past Leos, Leos and prospects stepped back home even with a little sadness of leaving.
