Singithi sith ru

The world of the preschooler is one of imagination and magic. Normally, children’s creativity will reach its peak before the age of six. During this period, kids tend to explore and learn about everything. Therefore, it is a critical time in the development of kids and parent and adults play a central role in it.

We, the UoM leos, in line with the spirit of children’s day, conducted an art competition “Singithi sith ru”,  for the kids of Sumudu Preschool on the 04^th October 2017 from 9.00am onwards. Kids are asked to draw paintings on that day. While they are drawing, we shared their fresh ideas in a friendly manner. We are able to refresh them by giving yoghurt also. Finally, kids were given with a present and wind up the session for the day.

Senehasata Suwasetha

It is true that the best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, but they must be felt from the heart. One such beautiful relationship is the bond in between a mother and her child. Every mother wishes to see her child healthy. But, a mother to give birth to a healthy child, she herself must be healthy at first.

That is why, we, the UoM Leos joint hands with the Lions Club of Matara-Nilwala and organized an awareness program, aiming the mothers in Thissamaharama area, to make them aware about the importance of good nutrition habits during the pregnancy period, and the need of breast feeding for the children during infancy. The program was conducted on 1^st of October from the morning till the noon, at the Public Health Officer’s premises in Thissamaharama area. Together with the awareness program done by Dr. W.P. Jayasena, there also was a distribution of packs of dry food items to the pregnant mothers who participated on that day.

The program was concluded as a success and at the same time, as the organizers, we would like to remember everyone who participated on that day including the health officers, Leos, Prospects and especially, the members from the Lions Club of Matara-Nilwala, who helped us to make the session a success. We hope that, the service done by this program was useful to the society, since a healthy mother and a healthy child is the future of a country.

Speak Up

A word is a sword that can alter the world. A leader should know how to rein the words appropriately in front of a crowd, to make the things done. But public speaking is a fear that many of us have. That is why, the Leo Club of University of Moratuwa planned to participate in toastmaster basics workshops, by joining hands with the Toastmasters Club of Rathmalana, with the intention of polishing the public speaking skills of the fellow members in our club.

         The first and second phases of this joint project were held on September 9th and 30th at Toyata Auditorium, Rathmalana. There were several sessions with the participation of our Leos and prospects together with the members of the Toastmasters Club, and some other sessions done by them to make our members understand, what a public speaking should be like. 

         The two phases already conducted proved that, this project is a very good opportunity to our club members and prospects, to gather an experience on public speaking, in order to develop their leadership skills. Therefore, we have planned to continue this project, with some more advanced sessions in future.
