     By- Leo Dinendri Wilegoda Arachchi On the 11th of August 2019 a bright and sunny day, calm and beautiful weather, and yet it was absolute panic, nerves, and a lot of excitement not just in my home but in many. 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...

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...

 By - Leo Chanakya Ranasinghe බහු භූතයෝ Celebrating Halloween is not something usually done in Sri Lanka, yet the new trend is slowly sweeping into the lives of the modern generation. We thought of this to be the perfect opportunity to hold on tight to the strong bond within the Leos of A2.  බහු භූතයෝ was organized jointly with our fellow Leo Club, Leo Club of Kalubowila. With Leo Malika as Chairperson, Leo Disali as project secretary, and Leo Chamika as project treasurer the night of horrors and fun was planned under the guidance of the club presidents. The initial idea has been generated from Leo Dinendri the team pooled in with many of their thoughts to ensure that this night was one to remember. A Sri Lankan themed Halloween night where a Yakinna and the Yakha of the night was to be crowned. Multiple games were planned and as the judges was our chief guest District President Leo Mudith who happened to be a pirate on the day along with Guest of Honour Imm...

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...

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...
