We are heading towards the end of the Leoistic year 19/20, and we must cor-
rect all the misconceptions and mistakes before the end
of this Leoistic year. We all started the year fresh with a clear mindset and
worked hard until the end of the Leoistic year intending to deliver the best
projects, developing club administration, and uplifting the club in every possi-
ble way. This workshop was organized to provide an
orientation for Leos of Leo District 306A2 by giving a brief introduction about
Leoism, ethical standards to Leoism, Leo protocol and guidelines in maintain-
ing administrative standards, and guidance to submit the award nominations

Spark Leo Orientation 2020
Leo club of Sri Lanka Technological campus organized "Spark Leo Orientation" which
was held on the 17th of April 2020 via Zoom online meetings from 4.00 pm onwards with
the participation of four speakers.
This was an orientation workshop which we believed that helped our Leos to build and
shape their future with the guidance of our senior Leos. A person who experienced great
things could convey the best message on how to choose the path of success.Speaker
Leo Kesari Senvirathne shared her experiences as a woman in Leo. She explained how
women could take part in serving, being leaders in the community. She motivated all the
young ladies to take part in this long walk as Leos. Leo Pramod Wimalathunga advised
how a club should take part in Multiple and District events as an active club, and the
information was very helpful to step forward as a successive club.Leo Mudith Jayasekara
also shared his personal experiences as a Leo who encouraged everyone to continue being
a true Leo.Leo Kasun Lokugamage shared his advice on club administration. He was able
to explain the benefit of managing good administration practices for a club. All the
speakers put great effort to make the orientation program successful with sharing their
valuable thoughts and life experiences and as a club, we would like to thank all of them for
beingwith us always. A leader is a person who guides others while being a guide to
himself. Spark orientation was successfully concluded with the help of the Leos.

#CoVer
Story.
Let’s stand together
Due to the current COVID-19 outbreak, people around
the world are facing many difficulties in surviving due
to a shortage of food. The Kalutara city being a high-risk
zone of COVID-19, People, as well as monks are suffering
from the curfew enforcements. The Leos of Sri Lanka
Technological campus came forward with an idea of
donating dry rations to Buddhist monks in rural temples in
Kalutara as villagers are facing difficulties in providing
alms for monks. With the support of Lions, Leos, and
many others, the Leos were able to collect funds needed to
buy the essential dry rations. On the 7th of April 22, 2020,
concurrently with the World Health Day and Poya day, the
SLTC Leos with the help of special task force distributed
30 dry ration packets to 30 temples round Malegoda Sri
Pushparamaya viharaya. This effort was appreciated by the
Head monk while giving his blessings to engage in more
community service projects for the betterment of society.

The 7th of April is named as the World Health Day. It is normally celebrated under
the sponsorship of the World Health Organization. Each year World Health day is
celebrated with a theme. The theme for the year 2020 is "Support Nurses and
Midwives". The health, I'm a bit perplexed of this golden treasure. But the 7th of April
is considered as the World Health Day. It's a must to talk about and to maintain a life
time.Much more ways to talk. But just imagine. Health is the soul that can
animate an amusement to our lives. It can fade unknowingly in seconds. But
life is tasteless without health.I'm pretty much sure that you can't even dream of
staying in a bed for the long-term being sick. You can't right? It's because health
is the worthiest thing in the world and the sense of being sick is kinda atrocious.
Do you know life is more difficult when you are sick? If something goes wrong in
your health the time will drag the feet and everything will be a soup.
Then you will be in a fix. You may be really smart. You'll be differently-able
or inclusive.But your health degradation will deform you as a dependent. You'll
have to cling on several people even they're not in your circle. Everything
will be a paradox to you. And your life and time will be sluggish. Instead of
enjoying this exceptional life staying sick by losing the health in a mundane manner.
One day you will understand health is everything and to be live your life you ought to
save this gold chain called Health.
