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.

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 Boiling Belimal in a 3 stoned hearth Aegle marmelos  also commonly known in Sri Lanka as Beli, is a species of tree native to Southeast Asia which many beliefs that can treat various illnesses in traditional medicine. Many Sri Lankans enjoy a cup of the beli mal herbal tea with a piece of kithul jaggery. It is a common belief that it treats asthma, indigestion, heartburn, and relieving palpitations. Hence the Leos decided on giving a bei mal dansala on the 16th of July 2019 at the Parama Dhamma Niketharanaramaya Temple. We prepared the herbal drink with the support of our brother Leo Dhanusha. The pan filled with water stood on a three brick cooker made by the leos while some Leos' was ensuring the flames do not reduce the others were cleaning the needed utensils. The kithul jaggery was cut into small pieces and the stand to give away the belimal drink was kept ready near the gates of the temple. With the temple packed with many obse...

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. 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...

The meetup point was my home and one by one the Leos were joining in.

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.
