University
Life
Though time and tide, have
taken us far and wide
We still can feel, deep inside
That the memories that bind
us, will never be null and
void
For it is the relationship
that last, friends that count
And the memories that all
hold last, that defines who
we are
For whatever we may have
achieved today, and all built
on our past.....

president Leo Lakshitha Sandaruwan, the first event of our club, the
Monthly general meeting was held for the month of July. Starting with the
national anthem, reciting the pledge and inspiring speeches throughout

precious journey. The General meeting was held on the 08th August

honorable chief guests Leo Raseema Sugandi and Guest of honor Leo
Navod Kriwaththuduwa, all the Leo members and Leo prospects were

the adoption of financial statements for the preceding year. At last the
event was concluded after a small discussion on the current issues,
solutions for them and some proposals for the future development of the
club, which proves the passion of Leos and prospects towards the club.

-BLUE PLANET-
The biggest source of pollution in
the ocean is directly from human
activities. 80% of the pollution
happens from the land. Every
day thousands of trash and waste
are dumped into the ocean. 90%
of floating materials are plastic
and polythene. These plastics are
harmful to the animals who live in
the ocean because they do not
decompose and it’s one of the
biggest environmental threats.
Polythene and plastics are
considered as food by marine
animals. Plastic kills more than
one million seabirds and 100,000
mammals(seals, whales, dolphins)
and sea turtles every year.
12 billion gallons of municipal
wastewater is discharged into
oceans.(United States national
research council report )
Because of the small size, sea
animals often eat micro plastic
(tiny pieces of plastic) and it
contains toxic chemicals which
can affect reproduction and impair
their defense against diseases.
Because of this animals may suffer If we do our part in reducing plastic

Hello,Leos!

You're Invited
Leoism is something about caring and sharing.
Leoism is somethimg about lending helping hands to someone who needs a backup.
Leoism is not something about putting yourself first,
Its about helping for the betterment of others while you are achieving your targets.
Leoism is togetherness. Together we can reach so much further.
Thats the real meaning of “truely in leoism”...
