FLY FOR A RAINBOW

~A guidance to reach the colors of attitude~

Rainbows with seven colours are not frequent, but once they are appeared in the clear sky everyone of us down on Earth appreciate the glamorous view of it.

If someone can become a rainbow with the colours of wisdom that everyone appreciate the person will be the luckiest of all. The happiness received by the person who became the guidance to an innocent fellow to fly for a rainbow will be immeasurable.

  


May 5th and 6th were not just two days for the UOM Leos. They got the opportunity to be that guidance to little fellows of MO/Ellekona K.V. and MO/Yakunnawa M.V. The students of grade 9, 10 and 11 were privileged to have an OL Seminar, motivation program and Leadership development program with the organization of UOM Leos. It ended with a hope in our hearts that they will find the wings to fly for a rainbow of wisdom.

Ropana Nakatha

"Today is the day to start working on something useful so that at the time we realized the real value of starting early we will not regret."

For every single breath we take in, we owe to the trees in the surrounding. Whether living a hundred years or not as long as we live we need fresh air to breath. It is the reason that our ancestors protected the trees for us to survive. It is our responsibility to protect them, grow more of them and help the survival of future generations.

Under this main intention UOM Leos launched another step ahead. The day was Sinhala and Tamil New Year. We were all at homes celebrating, but we never stopped thinking of a new way to connect with the Leos all around the country.

In the auspicious time for starting good work we got together and planted a tree in our home gardens. Though we were not together as in other projects we have done the good deed together at the same time. Leos from many clubs around the country joined with us to launch  the project.

Beyond the reach

Great leaders don’t set out to be a leader; they set out to make a difference. It’s never about the role; it’s always about the goal. That goal they set out will always be beyond the reach of a looser. The more you perform in life, the more you empowered with the so called leadership.



“Beyond the Reach”, the leadership, skills and professional development program organized by the Leo club of University of Moratuwa was a place for the patricipants to evoke the leader within them together with improving professionalism.

The program was held on 25th of March 2017. All those who were there was guided on the day with a CV writing workshop by PDP Lion Isuru Senadheera, Interview facing workshop by PDP Leo Nadeesha Palliyaguru, Workshop on Leadership by LEO Mahendra Amarasooriya of LEO Leadership Institute and skill development activities by District Orientation Committee Chairman, centennial challenge coordinator Leo Kasun Lokugamage.

All those who were there on the day experienced and created an opportunity to become a leader.

BRING OUT THE HERO WITHIN YOU

The women continue to face routine discrimination, harassment, and maltreatment in every corner of our society and it is a fundamental need to give an idea about this social status to the women and need to bring out the heroine within them.

The project was conducted within the university premises with the collaboration of the WIE (Women in Engineering) affinity group. The support given by WIE made the event a success. The project gave a better idea to arouse the heroine within them, while up keeping their personal and professional qualifications.

This helped immensely in cultivating of the personality, unity and team work among club members, organization, leadership and communication skill enhancement of the Leos and Prospects

Centennial parade

The first LEO club was founded in 1957 by Jim Graver, the couch of the Abington High School, Pennsylvania baseball team. It grew rapidly beyond Pennsylvania in a short time as it served and touched the hearts of the youth. Currently having over 160000 members around 140 countries in the world LEO club has become the largest youth club of volunteer character in the world.
Remarking the centennial celebrations of the LEO movement a walk was organized by the Leo District 306A2. It was a lifetime opportunity for the LEOs to take part in the Centennial walk 2017. Once in 100 years the LEOs will be having the experience of a centennial walk and we were lucky enough to take part and walk with the spirit of the Leoism carrying in our hearts.
It was held on 11th March 2017 at Viharamahadevi Park with the participation of all the Leo clubs of the district. It has become the biggest walk in the history of the Lionism and Leoism of Sri Lanka.
