The Wickramasinghepura Leo Club recently launched an educational initiative aimed at supporting Grade 13
students at St. Joseph's OMI Seminary, Kohuwala, Project Nanawath Hetak, as they prepare for their Advanced
Level Accounting examinations. This ongoing project, which commenced on the 2nd of September, 2024, focuses on
providing these students with comprehensive lessons in accounting, conducted entirely in the English medium.
The sessions are scheduled to be held once a week starting from October and will continue until the students
face their A/L exams in November.
The inaugural session took place from 7:30 am to 1:30 pm and primarily covered the topic of Net Present Value
(NPV), an essential concept in financial management. The lesson included detailed explanations, practical
examples, and problem-solving techniques, helping the students grasp the complexities of the subject.

Suwa Sathkara
The "Suwa Sathaakara" project, held on the 14th of September 2024, at the Sri Shesthrarama Temple,
Dippitigoda, Kelaniya, was an initiative aimed at promoting health awareness within the community. Blood
samples were collected from 70 individuals aged between 30 and 70 years, residing in the Kelaniya Dippitigoda
area. These samples were tested for sugar and cholesterol levels, with the medical reports being provided on
the same day, free of charge. The club members also offered participants a nutritious Kola kanda drink as
refreshments, known for boosting energy and supporting recovery after blood sampling.
With the current economic challenges facing the country, this project played a crucial role in providing
much-needed health guidance to people who might otherwise lack access to such services. The Leo members worked
tirelessly to gather the necessary resources, organize the venue, and assist the medical staff, ensuring the
project’s smooth and successful execution.

Playful Minds
The third session of the "Playful Minds" project took place on September 20, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. at the LOLC
Child Care Centre. This ongoing initiative aims to enhance the emotional and mental well-being of the 16
children at the center, helping them develop essential skills for their overall growth.
During this session, the children had the opportunity to watch a children's movie, followed by a dinner of
burgers and soft drinks. We also celebrated one of the children's birthdays. The main focus of this month's
session was to encourage the children to connect with the movie characters, allowing them to process and
express emotions such as happiness, empathy, and fear in a safe environment. Through the use of movies, we can
teach valuable life lessons, improve language skills, relieve stress, and spark imagination and creativity.
Additionally, by providing dinner, we were able to address their immediate need for food.

Safer Streets
On September 28th, 2024, the Leo Club of Wickramasinghepura, in collaboration with the Leo Club of CINEC
Campus and the Leo Club of Koswatta United, successfully carried out a road safety initiative aimed at
reducing traffic accidents in a high-risk area. After extensive research and careful evaluation of
accident-prone zones, we identified a critical need to replace two damaged road mirrors that were essential
for drivers to safely navigate a blind curve. The project culminated in the installation of two new convex
mirrors, strategically placed to enhance visibility and prevent potential collisions.
