01. PROJECT FOR ELDERS.
The idea was put forward in a Board Meeting that a project for elders should be done regarding the home for elderly in Horana. After giving it much thought we delegated its responsibility to some of our members. So finally we identified the following group as the project committee. Leo Laksri was the project chairman with the members; Leo Poorni and Leo Sandun.
After confirming a date with the Elders home they planned everything for the success of the project. We thought of serving the elders with their dinner and all the food was donated by our Leo Advisor Lion Dr. Vajira Perera.
Then to further enhance the capabilities of our club we decided to organize a medical campaign, as we heard from the management that they are in need of a medical clinic. So we organized a medical clinic for all the elders.
The necessary drugs and equipments were supplied by our parents Lions Club. Then the next problem we faced was we didn’t have any medical practitioners who can come and help us with this project. To our great relief Lion Dr. Deepal Fernando and Lion Lady Dr. Renuka Hewawasam told us that they will join their hands with us.
It should be noted that the project was a great success and all the elders were very happy because they had a great time with us.
02. DISTRIBUTION OF LUNCH PACKETS TO THE BEGGAR.
As a matter of fact this idea was given by a very young leo, Leo Barana Chandima at the General Meeting held at leo Laksri ‘s place.And as it was not that hard to implement such a project we thought of delegating it to the young leos who are still schooling.
Leo Barana, the project chairman could achieve a valuable target with the helping hand of Leo Achintha, Leo Chethika, Leo Hasitha and Leo Rakitha as the project committee.
We appointed Leo Anuradha to overlook at the way their performing the project. So at the end they have decided to distribute around 50 lunch packets.
This was supplied by all of us voluntarily. Then they decided a date and after some review they thought of distribute the packets to all the beggars in the streets of Horana. The project was an immense success and we all were so happy because this project gave us the opportunity to realize the real strength of our young leos.
