Presidents Note:

DREAM BIG
I consider it as a great privilege to have the opportunity to address you all in the very first newsletter
of the Leo Club of University of Moratuwa. I would
like to give a small message that, I hope, will be useful to you all in your life.
Dream Big. That is the message I am going to
pass to you. Dreaming is very essential for humans.
Dreams become the targets in human lives. Passion
fuels you. But the vision a big dream points you
to your ultimate destination. You definitely should
have dreams in you to succeed in life.
If you do not dream about something, that means
you are not interested in that thing. And if you are
interested in something definitely you should be
dreaming about that. Dreams are the motivation,

driving force of your entire life. So dont be afraid

to dream. Always dream big. That will guide you to

the stars, then you will grab a handful of clouds.

ARE YOU READY?

KILLER CV

INTERVIEW AND CV PREPERATION WORKSHOP | 04th July 2015

Three or four gentlemen staring at you,

focus on you and about to ask an question,
an important and special question which decides your whole way to go..

Ok! Tell me, why you should be selected for this position?
aerrr.. ahm. Ah oh, well . I
So,

are you ready?

We UoM LEOs were keen on the situation and thought of improving university students before this awkward moment. As regards,
the past president of LEO district 306 A2, LEO Isuru Senadheera
was the guest speaker for the occasion on 4th of July. His experiences in facing for interviews as well as interviewing somebody
else made participants strong in facing for a board of white collars.
Turning into preparing a CV it makes us little
anxious. What should be written? Is it the
proper way of mentioning a skill or a talent?
This is confusingThis session gave an idea
to prepare a correct CV in the formal manner.
The session was conducted focusing on the
applicants for the board of directors for the
upcoming Leostic year and for sure they
might have taken the maximum out of it

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP

CONSORTIUM

05th July 2015 | 9.00 P.M TO 4.00 P.M | IN SUJATHA VIDYALAYA, MATARA

A leader is one who knows the way,goes the way and shows the way
As leaders, LEOS show the way for future leaders.
UOM leos organized a leadership and positive attitude development program at sujatha vidyalaya
,Matara.The program was for girl guides in schools
around Matara area. On the day,first half was full of
fun games and team spirit building activities.

In the second half the motivation lecture

done by leo Yasendra Abeygunawardhana was
impressive. Leadership is a quality that is not
tangible, we cant touch it. It is a quality that is not
measurable, we cant calculate it. Despite the
variability in perceptions of leadership ,we
all have leaders who have made a difference
in our life and inspired us in one way or
another. Thats what everyone got at the end
of the day.

SELECTION OF

CLUB OFFICERS

10th July 2015 | 6.00 P.M ONWARDS

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision in to reality

So to translate our vision in to reality UOM

Leos organized a series of interviews to
select the club officers for the consecutive second time. Leo club of University of Moratuwa is an imperial legend of
eminence. So this was another step to
maintain its standards. The interviews
were conducted in order to recruit the
most suitable Leos to hold important
positions in the club.
Vice president, assistant secretary,

editorial

panel,

IT

panel & the board members

(directors) were those positions.

The

interviews

were

successfully conducted and the

club could recruit the most suitable Leo candidates for the club
positions. UOM Leos will unfold
another glorious chapter with
new leaders

TREAT THE WORLD

AND
SMILE SO SWEET
Find a way to reach and stay,
Open your heart and wipe the gray,
Wave your help in need and say,
Helping indeed is my way...
Life is a long distance drive along a strange path where we
dont know what we will meet next. In that long way we
will meet many people who need a lift for their own destinations. Some may ask for help and some may not, even
though they need help. Making yourself helpful to others
will guide you to your own happiness.
Seeing a plant you grow becoming a tree makes you feel
happy. It is the same feeling you get when you see someone
happy by receiving your kind help. Happiness is not something which we can buy. It is something that we must earn
in our lifetime.
Some may think being rich has something to do with helping others. The reality we should know is that a simple smile
or blissful words which we can give free of charge will be a
help to enlighten someones heart. So think of every smart
and small ways to make someone happy during your carrier
and preserve your smile forever.

Hand in hand help in need,

Pluck them all heart grown weed,
Plant in heart the kind called seed,
Treat the world and smile so sweet...
-Chamindi JayaweeraPage 07

BE AWARE...

KNOW YOUR STATUS

HEPATITIS DAY | 28th July 2015 | 4.00 P.M TO 6.00 P.M AT KATUBEDDA JUNCTION

What do you think of them?

An election campaign...?
Not at all, it was an awareness program on world hepatitis day
There are many things that all know these things
are dangerous and come across our lives without
prior warning. But it is human nature to take actions for those after happened. Especially for illnesses that do not show any symptoms. Hepatitis
is one such illness.
On the hepatitis day, Leo club of Moratuwa and
Leo Club of Unawatuna Diamond Stars gathered
as one team just to remind the people what they
should know about hepatitis. People near the road
sides were informed about the disease by distributing handouts. May be a little handout will save
a mans life.

It was just a little journey.

But we were able to make a little flash in
peoples mind
that they have to be careful.
So it is up to you
Get tested early
Beat it...
Because it is closer
than you think.
