The sun is out there...
“Dusk peeped into the shiny life I heldI see nothing but darkness now and thenThe life once were mine and bestNow is nothing but darkness and wreck”
Are you worried?Is something bothering you?Ever thought why is it always you who is in pain?Well, it’s not JUST you. We all have little storms in our lives on daily basis. We all are fighting a battle of our own. There might be a time when you feel so lonely, so miserable and so left alone. Everything might go wrong, even the wind might blow in the wrong direc-tion. You will feel that the shiny days are over, you will forget that there was sun in your life. Once you are fed up with being beaten up, you’ll question “what is this life?” or at worst, “why should I live?”Yes, darkness may have struck your once gleaming life. So what? Do you think that it is going to stay forever? It may, unless you challenge it. Yes, challenge the dark-ness. Try to find a light. If the wind blows in the wrong direction, let it be. You can’t change the direction of the wind. Just adjust the sails to reach your destina-tion. Above all, don’t lose your hope.The sun has set, it’s true. But until you have faith in, you won’t give up challenging the darkness. Until you know that sun is not gone out once and forever, you know that there is still a hope of light. So, hold onto hope. One day it’ll hold you strong till the light comes. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. All you have to do is hope for the light as the sun is out there.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which we can use to change the world.”
-Nelson Mandela.A child without education is like a bird without wings. Primary education for students is highly effectible for the future of nation as it is the foundation for their whole life.
The best feeling of happiness is when you are happy because you’ve made someone else happy. UOM Leos, we organized a special seminar for grade 5 scholarship students on 9th July at Kamburipitiya Damitha Education Institute. The resource person, Mr. Chaminda Liyanaarachchi conducted the event. We distributed presents for the students who got the highest marks for the model paper as a motivation for all other students. We were able to give a helping hand for those little children making them confident for the examination and it gave us a great pleasure at the end of the project as we were able to bring a smile for those little faces.

Kite Festival
Colour the Sky
Have you ever wanted to build a kite? It should be definitely “YES”
Well, here it is about the Kite Festival which was done on 30th of August in MountLavinia beach.It was ablissful day as we felt like we are flying with kites without any limitations. They made lovely scenes ,making the sky a painting book with full of colours. We conducted the event from 8.30 am to 2.30 pm with main categories such as the most creative kite,best leo promot-ing kite and largest kite, with 150 participants.There were fun games and DJ throughout the day ,making the event more en-joyable one. We distributed awards for the winners as a motiva-tion for their skills.Kites colour the sky,spreading their brilliant colours with sim-plicity. So as they coloured the whole day of our project, adding smiles for the faces of everyone.
You don’t need to be rich or poor.You don’t need to be single or married.You don’t need to be top in your classYou don’t even want to be in the first place.You just NEED to do whatever you want to do,be whoever you want to be,and live your life the way you want to live.Anyone who tries to tell you otherwiseTell him or her to go fly a KITE.
