  Artes Progressio- Where ideas come to life Artes Progressio is a talent-building program organized for the benefit of the members of the Leo club of Polgasowita to explore and tweak talents within themselves. The purpose of this program is to allow the members to learn new talents and educate themselves about the right way to work with projects.   Inspire Innovation being the theme of our district this year, we believe in amalgamating this with our own club theme which is; Growth from Within to inspire our Leos to think outside the box. As the first step of this talent building program series, we focused on the topic of  Design thinking for creation of designs through creative problem-solving and here is what our newest member Leo Dilakshi has to say about her experience on the project. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… By- Leo Dilakshi Uthpala  Artes Progressio was such a wonderful project which I participated in my life so far.

A note on Origami- The Art of Folding paper

-
Image
By- Leo Tharindu Perera Origami is the art of making different creations by folding paper. This fine art, traditionally inherited from Japan, gradually united the culture and education of the Japanese four centuries ago. Today it has developed into an essential part of the field of education as well as extracurricular activities. There is a Japanese saying, "The hands are the outer brain." This is because the actions of one's hands can determine the nature of the brain and vice versa. Swiss jin father Ji, a developmental psychologist, says that hands-on activities can greatly contribute to intellectual development, especially in infancy and childhood. Therefore, two terms in education are used simultaneously in action: understanding and action through action. It has been scientifically proven that by actively interacting with objects in the outside world of the hands, there is an intelligence development process. By folding a piece of paper into an origami, you

By- Leo Dinendri Wilegoda Arachchi Just Be You... The words say it all, we wanted every young person to be truly proud of who they are and the achievements they have gained and the achievements that they are to gain in the future. This pandemic is effecting lives in countless ways, the feeling of isolation and the social distancing is making the younger generation coupe up to a corner scrolling through their social media. A fact that can be seen is that he/she could affect the mental status of a person hence with the goal of empowering the youth generation this social media challenge began. The components being to include 3 photographs of themselves within 3 major stages of their lives and to include a quote that made a difference to their life in a positive way.  The challenge surely attracted many Leos as well as Non-Leos'. Not only were we enjoying our time with family flipping through old albums many of us learned backstories' of photographs of our childhood. Seei

By- Leo Dinendri Wilegoda Arachchi Sustainable Tomorrow focuses on one of the main forms of harm that we as humans aree doing to our home. With multiple trees being cut to satisfy a need that can barely ever be ful-filled. With tons of people lining up in stores daily a wolrd wide best selling industry is the industry of paper.

Knowing the way in which paper is made yet we assume we have acres and acres more to go until onedaya we won't have anything else more to live on. We hope to create a spark of responsibility to all those who do not feel the pressure of global warming that we are going throrugh at present.

By- Leo Chanakya Ranasinghe April 7th marks world health day to draw attention to important health issues facing the world every year. Needless to say, COVID 19 outbreak taught us humans that no other riches could equal the value of health showing the vulnerability of life we are living in. During this verge, healthcare workers play a crucial role by risking their lives to protect the lives of others in the frontlines of the battle against this virus. This year world health day will shine a light on the nurses and midwives and the restless workforce which revolutionized the healthcare industry and brought up to the place it is today. Therefore Leos of Polgasowita thought of looking back to the memory of the history and share the stories of some of the inspirational healthcare workers who channeled their blood sweat and tears into saving people and spreading humanity across the globe. May this be a tribute to all the healthcare workers fighting at this moment to save milli
