It is a great thing to give knowledge what we gained, and share experiences what we have, with others. It will help others to learn lessons from our experiences.
With the purpose of giving guidance to O/L students in Badulla area “Api Akurata Mali Nowemu”O/L seminar was held at Madawela Maha Vidyalaya, Welimada. Project phase 1 was held on 28th November 2013 from 8.00a.m.to 4.00 p.m.
At this session UoM Leos distributed Mathematics and Science papers among students, gave the chance to find answers and finally discussed them. Questions were asked from students and given gifts were given for correct answers. It was a motivation to them.
After the paper discussion session, it was the time for giving advices through the experiences of UoM Leos. UoM Leos guided the school students how to choose correct questions, how to write answers, how to structure the answers and how to manage the time in a proper manner. Those were very important to them.
It was not only a project, but a service to school students. They have appreciated the project very much. With the great success of this project, Leos have gained self satisfaction as well.
Students...... They are like blooming flowers. But as water, sunlight to flowers...., students need knowledge and experiences.
As it is end of November GCE Ordinary Level exam is rush. Leo Club of University of Moratuwa decided to do a helping hand project for the students with limited facilities and proper educational environment. With their economic problems these innocents don’t have a chance to have private educational methods. So UoM Leos have decided to provide some learning materials and their best assist to improve these kids knowledge about science and mathematics.
The place was B/Hinnarangolla vidyalaya located in Boralanda. With the objectives of giving knowledge to score in exams without reducing easy marks, motivating the students to face the exam in a comfortable way without any fear for the exam, giving them an idea of higher education and their opportunities, a seminar was held on 29th November 2013 from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm.
This was mostly like “Api Akurata Mali Nowemu phase 1”, Science and mathematics papers were distributed and discussed, some parts of the syllabus were taught again, children were motivated for the exam thorough the experiences of UoM Leos and they were inspired by making understand the value of higher education. All the students of grade 11 have participated for the programme and it was a great success.
Our special thanks should go to Leo Sajith Senevirathne for contacting the school and the principal of B/Hinnarangolla vidyalaya for giving permission to carry out the project. At last UoM Leos have decided to carry out more projects like this to help kids around the country that want the helping hand so badly.
