මං පාරේ අයාලේ යන බව්වෙක්
මට මතකයි පොඩි කාලේ මාමලා වගයක් මාව පාරේ දාලා ගියා. එදා තමයි මං බය උන වැඩිම දවස. එදා ඉදන් අව්වට වැස්සට සෙවනක් නැතිව කන්න බොන්න හරියට නැතුව දුක සේ ඉන්නෙ. අව්ව දවසට අව්වෙන් බේරෙන්න වාහනයක් යටට රිංගනවා. මොකද ඉස්සර වගේ හෙවන දෙන්න ගහක් හොයගන්න නැති තරම් නිසා. වාහනේ යට උනත් ඉන්නේ හරි බයෙන් මම.

වැස්ස දවසට තෙමෙන්නෙ නැතුව ඉන්න තැනක් හොයාගන්නම නෑ. කඩයක් ඇතුලකටවත් මට යන්න බෑ.මාව එලවනවා අයාලේ යන බව්වෙක් නිසා. ඉතින් වැස්ස දවසක් කියන්නේ ගොඩක් වෙලාවට මට තෙමෙන්න වෙනවම තමයි. වැස්සට තෙමිලා මගෙන් එන ගද මටම වෙලාවකට ඉවසන්න බෑ. මැක්කොත් ඇගේ බෝ උනාම මට මේ ජිවිතේ මොකක්ද කියලා හිතෙනවා. කන්න කෑමක් හොයන් මං දවසකට කොච්චර නම් දුරක් ඇවිදිනවද. සමහර දවස් වලට කොච්චර ඇවිද්දත් බඩ පිරෙන්න කෑමක් හම්බෙන්නෙත් නෑ. මං ඉතින් ඉවසගන්න බැරි උන වෙලාවට කෑම ඉල්ලනවා මිනිස්සුන්ගෙන්. ගොඩාක් අය මට ඉතින් ගහල පන්නනවා. මං ගද ගහන වල් බල්ලෙක් නිසා වෙන්න ඇති ඉතින් එයාලා එහෙම සලකන්නේ. එත් ඒක මට වෙනස් කරන්න විදියක් නෑනේ ඒක මට උරුම දේනේ. හිත හොද මිනිස්සුත් නැතුවම නෙමෙයි.

මේ ලගදි අපිට කන්න බොන්න දුන්නා ලියෝ එකේ අයියලා අක්කලා.එයාලා හරි හොදයි. එයාලගෙ මොකක්ද වැඩසටහනක්ද කොහෙද. එයාලා අපිව හොයගෙන ඇවිත් අපිට කෑම දීලා අපිව අත ගාලා ආදරෙන් සැලකුවා. මං හිතන්නේ මට ජිවීතෙට ලැබුන ලොකුම සතුටක් ඒක.ඒ අයියලා අක්කලා වගේ උනා නම් අනිත් මිනිස්සුත් අපිට හැමදාමත් සතුටෙන් ඉන්න තිබ්බනේ. අනේ එ අයියලා අක්කලා ආයි එනවා නම් අපිව බලන්න......

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.

By- Leo Chanakya Ranasinghe One vote one plant challenge is a project initiated by the  Leo Club of Polgasowita in line with the Presidential polls of 2019 which was held on November 16th. Usually the presidential elections ends up with a massive environmental destruction which is caused by various sources such as posters, leaflets, firecrackers and etc. But we as Leos thought of creating a positive trend across the youth and the general public by creating a social media challenge to plant one tree for a vote given by them. This challenge required the participants to plant a tree at the election day and post a picture with the hashtag #OnevoteOneplantchallenge and each and every post was featured by the Facebook and Instagram pages of Leo Club of Polgasowita. Leos as well as the general public provided enthusiastic support to this challenge planting trees across the country. Not only that. We were able to convey a strong message across the youth on the importanc...

As I got dressed for the big day ahead, the calm and quite creeped in reminding me of the journey we are to embark, a journey many of us were gladly and excitedly looking forward to.  Arriving quite early at the Leo Youth Center seeing the smiling faces of the fellow club members as the entire hall was prepped and ready to go the eye-catching banner displayed on the head table said it all. "19th Installation Ceremony", it was, in fact, the 19th for the legacy of Leo Club of Polgasowita basking in its absolute glory. Being home to generations of young leaders who made it a point to change the society and support the community, young leaders who set examples to many following their footsteps and even 19 years later the pride and the strength can b...

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. Our daily need is one of them. Be is wrapping paper, tissue paper or even note pads we cannot live without it. 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. We as humans have given out need priority knowingly killing the world among us. Though at first it was to be carried out in multiple phases we had to opt to just doing the email awarenes campaign due to the Covid-19 pandemic which is effecting a globe. I...
