Gilan Pasa Poojawa & Seth-Pathamu Meth-Wadamu
The continuous religious project Seth pathamu-Meth wadamu was continued in the month of December and was held on the 10th Friday. This time also the Bodhi Pooja was carried out at the Vidyarathna Temple Horana and the key reason was to bless the Leos from the club who were attempting the G.C.E. Ordinary Level exams on the month of December 2010.
Out of the many Leos who were sitting for the O/L exams Leos Chethika, Barana, Pasindu and Achintha were present even though it was only two days before their exams, as well as the Club president Leo Hiranya and other Leos were also present for the pooja, namely Leos Laksri, Lochana, Dulmi and Wathmi.
The Bodhi Pooja was sponsored by the willing families of Leos Chethika and Barana with a gross value of about Rs.1200. The monthly Gilan Pasa Pooja project for the month of December was also donated by the same two Leos with a gross expense of Rs. 5000 for all the material for the preparation of tea and the biscuits for the several hundred people who were present at the temple.
The Gilan-pasa poojawa was also continued for the month of December on the 20th December which held the Unduwap Poya Day. The Leos as usual got together and prepared tea for the evening Gilan pasa for those who had observed sil at the Vidyarathna Temple Horana.
