The Miracle of Friendship

There is a miracle called friendship
That dwells within the heart
And you dont know how it happens
Or when it even starts.

Always gives a special lift
And you realize that

Manusathkama
For those who needs
a helping hand...

Being human is given, but keeping our

humanity is a choice.
--Ronald Regan

Page 02

We as human beings have a great responsibility to serve

the mankind. All of us are bound together as beads of
a necklace in the name of humanity. MANUSATHKAMAis one such effort which made the word into real.
It was conducted by prospects of UoM Leo club & students following life skills course on last 10th of January
2016 at National Institute of Mental Health.
They have given the meaning of word humans to the
whole world by conducting shramadana campaign to
make the place more user friendly.National Institute of
Mental Health is a place where people with mental disorders are treated. In a society where those people are
cornered & neglected Leos have given a great example by giving them a helping hand. After shramadana
campaign they joined to watch some paintings done by
children residing there in order to motivate those little
hearts.
We cant help everyone, but everyone can help someone. If all of us can think in that way this will be a better
place to live with. It is our pleasure if even a single person is prone to do something good to mankind.

Renew the relatiohip of
brotherhood,
from south to
north

In spite of races, religions or skin colour we all are children of mother Sri Lanka. One may be from south or
north but we all have a bond which keeps all of us together. So Leo club of University of Moratuwa decided to
reinvigorate this friendship. As an innovative idea we decided to celebrate Thaippongal festival in a different
manner.
With the rising of Thaippongal sun on 15th January 2016, we reached Jaffna with the message of fraternity.
There was a heartwarming welcome from our Tamil friends at Jaffna. We celebrated a perfect Thaippongal
day there. They showed us to draw kolam arts with colored rice. So we joined with them and designed
colourful kolam arts. We worshiped a Kovil and experienced about their rituals. Then all of us were treated
with Pongal Rice which can waters our mouths by a glance of remembrance. And also we did not forget to
meet the Leos of Leo club of Manipay Parish and wish them a happy pongal. At the time of pongal sun says
goodbye, Leos who participated for the event had a cluster of blissful moments to remember by experiencing
the real thaippongal for the first time in their lives.
On the second day of our journey we decided to share the happiness in our hearts with those who are in
need. War is one of bad memories every Sri Lankan has. Many children lost their parents due to this calamitous war. Muthuthamby Childrens Home in Jaffna is a place where such children live. They lost their
parents love, living place
and everything because of the war. These little children might have a dream to
Page 02
prepare Pongal rice with their parents, draw Kolam arts on their home garden. So festival season is not a
happy time for them. We UoM Leos decided to bloom some smiling faces there in this season. We visited
them day after ThaiPongal to blossom their dreams. Leo club of Manipay Parish was also joined with us to
share love. We spend a whole day with them singing, dancing and having spellbinding chats with them. We
distributed books among the children and could give them a carom board which was a requirement of the
childrens home. At the end, it was hard to leave those smiling faces and shinning eyes.
We were able to experience the joy and exuberance that occur when hearts come together. Indeed these
festivals are sacred moments that help us to establish love and unity and nourish our relationships.

Api Akurata
Mali Nowemu
A helping hand to our
Brothers and Sisters

Gaining knowledge is the first step to wisdom

Sharing it is the first step to humanity..
We UOM Leos took another step of our journey towards humanity by unfolding another impressive
chapter of Api Akurata Mali Nowemu. Advanced level examination is the most competitive examination in
our educational system. It is a boundary line of our
lives which will decide our future career. Students try
their best to get good results in this examination. So
we decided to give a helping hand for the students
who are facing upcoming A/L examination in mathematics stream from what we have gained.

On 29th January morning, students of Narandeniya Central

College, Kaburupitiya looked forward for the session to start.
First we distributed the papers prepared by us and gave time
for the students to write answers. At the end of the given period we discussed the solutions for the question paper and
teach the simple methods of solving sums. Not only the subject knowledge but also we were able to set their mind for
the exam and give the courage to face exam with confident.
It was a successful session where we were able to give our
best in a manner that can grab by the students easily. At the
end of the session we felt the happiness of sharing...

LETS SEE WORLD OF EVERYONE!

Everyone has a mystery
Dont be at crazy
Obey all the history
Make the moment tasty!
Every mind rules an individual world. Store of sweet times, stock of sorrows and
amazing milestones are there. It is filled with likes, dislikes, sensitive things,
principles, role-models, dreams, adjustments, destinations, excitements and expectations. Everyone runs on his/her separate world. Have to approach everyones
world of mind with a politely way and giving a pleasant introduction to capture
a nice place in their world. Be supportive or motive to touch the destination. If
cannot, dont be a reason to confusing their dreams. Think everyone as you and
understand that every world holds feelings. Less the lies in your own paradise
but can be lie to make another world happy. Didnt create a joyful moment is
not a fault but made wounds is an unfair moment. Egress the world with leaving
sweet foot-prints. Make good feedbacks on you in all worlds.
Trace footprints smart...
Do your part right...
And make yourself bright...!
