LEAP - Phase 02

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way. 

                                -John C. Maxwell-

            Through the project "LEAP 22/23", UoM Leos pledged to help the next generation of leaders in previous months. On December 30th, Phase 2 of this project took place at the Badulla Kahataruppa Muthumala Vidyalaya with the participation of about 85 enthusiastic young people. UoM Leos were able to steer the situation and deliver the youngsters the best experience ever despite the difficult weather. The event's schedule began with a motivational session that offered the kids a wealth of insight.

            

        They were then split up into a few groups, and activities like blind walking, name writing, ball through the hall, and puzzle game were carried out with them to heat up the ambiance and make the scenario more competitive. With the support of everyone, it was successfully carried up despite the numerous obstacles, notably the rainy weather. At the end of the day, there was a fire camp, which delighted not only the children but also the Leos with an incredible experience. The evening became increasingly spectacular due to the multiple of dance activities and songs.

            LEAP- Phase 2 was planned as a one-day program, unlike LEAP- Phase 1. Yet, it was arranged chronologically so that the program's initiatives could be nicely addressed. LEAP- Phase 2 was also a great success due to the engagement of UoM Leos, the children, and the community. We sincerely hope that we were able to influence those young people in a way that would lead to a better future with outstanding leaders.

Paint their world

 As we all know cancer is a non communicable disease that anyone can get affected regardless of age or gender. So we should be helpful and kind to the people who are already affected by cancers.

‘Paint their World’ is a project done by the Leo Club of University of Moratuwa collaborating with the Lions Club of Dehiwala, in order to bring a smile on the innocent faces in Karapitiya Cancer Hospital. In this project we cleaned and painted the beds, cupboards, trolleys and lockers on the floor of the hospital. We were able to complete this project effectively with the help of all the Leos and Lions who helped in the process.
