LEO CLUB OF POLGASOWITA

 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...

The meetup point was my home and one by one the Leos were joining in. As a few of them headed out to bring the dinner we had prepared the others were mingling and getting to know each other; we as a club were truly glad to see the presence of many of our prospects who were truly eager to start this project.

    By- Leo Chanya Ranathunga Street Pooch in itself was an attempt by the Polgasowita Leos to become provides for those who suffer in silence. How many times have we walked past street dogs and ignored their very existence? Sometimes this vision has become such a common occurrence that we do not even think twice, much less once about these animals. As Leos, we attempted to make a small change and show that one act will actually help out a lot more than what we would have expected. Feeding street pooch is just the start of an initiative that we have taken, and many have followed. Even during this pandemic time, we have continued our monthly attempts at providing a meal for the needy. This project not only focused on the humanity that we must have, but also to the damage we do to the world. Sri Lanka is piling up with food waste and disasters such as the massive landfill explosion that happened and prone. We ask you to join in, not only with this project but with the...

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...
