Slay the Dread

 You look happy, but you don't feel happy. That's what depression does to you."

Leo Club of University of Moratuwa with the collaboration of Centennial Leo Club of Richmond College commenced the project "

Slay the Dread '' with the aim of identifying the mental health condition of the students and employees and to show the path to get off from those psychological problems.

As the first step of this project, we conducted research. We created a questionnaire and shared it through social media. Through viewpoints of 560 respondents, we found that 24% of people among them are suffering from depression due to various reasons. Data analysis has shown that charity work is a good solution to reduce depression.

As the second step of this project, we conducted a webinar. It was held via zoom on the 23rd of January 2021 from 6.00 p.m onwards. Senior psychological counsellor, Mrs Esharma Kariyawarna and personal development trainer and motivational speaker, Mrs Nadeepa Ranasinghe participated as guest speakers of the event. They excellently peached the session dedicating their valuable time. There was a discussion on depression, the relationship between charity and depression together with a motivational discussion.

This webinar was concluded successfully with the participation of nearly 100 participants. We got much amazing feedback from them admiring our effort. We would like to extend our heartfelt  gratitude to everyone who helped us to make this project a success.

Music Never Blind- phase 2

Although the images are prohibited from blindness, sounds are not!!. Therefore, music is the best medium that even the visually impaired can enjoy. Hence we, UoM Leos thought to take another step of the expedition we launched previously.

Accordingly, on the 17th January 2021 Music Never Blind phase 2 was conducted at Sandagala Deaf and Blind School, Kurunegala from 8.30 a.m. onwards. At there we could meet a group of wonderful friends and we were able to share with them an unforgettable experience of fun whilst renovating their home. 

Undoubtedly, it was a beautiful day that not only them but also we were able to bring back a lot of unforgettable memories by spreading a positive sight to enlighten the darkness.

Earth Care

 The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it. Apparently, we are living on this planet as if we had another one to go to.

We would like to honourably thank, R.M.A.K. Rathnayake, the Instructor of Physical planning & Environment Division, Sri Lanka Institute of Local Governance, Ms Sarojini Jayasekara, the Director of Solid Waste Management, Central Environment Authority, Mr Nalin Mannapperuma, the Director of Western Province Waste Management Authority for sailing that moment to the success, adducing the relevant solutions for the garbage crisis whilst dedicating their valuable time in their busy lives.

Noel Lumineux

 Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind to sprinkle the kindness and to pour the peace.

Noel Lumineux was another wonderful project that was wielded by Leo club of University of Moratuwa with the contribution of Leo club of Dehiwala East, Leo club of Werahera including a cancer awareness program while celebrating the Christmas letting the little innocent hearts in 3 children’s homes, Hopes Children’s Home in Nawalapitiya, Buddhist Girls’ Home in Matara, Peries Children’s Home in Kurunegala smile happily with the joy of x-mas on 27th of December 2020 from 10.00 a.m. onwards.
