A life hope towards gasping breath

-

The Alert 5.0 project, organised by the Leo Club of the University of Colombo, which operates under District 306 C1 in Colombo District, is planned to be implemente­d in three phases, striving to add a sense of purpose to life.

Accordingl­y, with the successful completion of the first phase of the project, ‘Prana Suraksha’, the Leo members prepared for the second phase of the project.

You all know how tragic childhood cancer is and that it is spreading rapidly in the society at present. The number of childhood cancer patients diagnosed day by day is increasing. The second phase of the project was named ‘Apeksha’ with the aim of adding another day to the fate of those little flower buds who are the owners of tomorrow.

A programme to donate toothpaste, face masks and other essential items and to donate essential medicines required for those pediatric wards was held on 23rd December 2021 with the participat­ion of members of the Leo Club of University of Colombo.

We are pleased to announce the continued support of the members of the leo Club. A large number of selected sponsors have also contribute­d.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who supported the success of the Leo Club’s effort to bring hope to little hearts and reveal their lives.

The members of the Leo Club of the University of Colombo are very pleased to be able to successful­ly complete such a precious mission, even in such a difficult moment.

As the final step in this Alert 5.0 project, a book donation drive for the Children’s Library of the Maharagama Apeksha Hospital is planned to be launched under the name ‘Athwela’.

A book is a close friend of young children. Undoubtedl­y, a book will help them to forget their past and mental anguish for a moment and take their thoughts to a whole new level.

All arrangemen­ts have been made and the book donation is scheduled to take place in the near future.
