Dear Friends,

I am really very happy that we have organized the White Cane Safety Day Walk with the large number of participation. This is the first time that there were more than 250 visually handicapped people participated for the walk. In addition there were more than 50 Leos who took part to make this event a memorable one.

Leo District Council 306B2 distributed dry ration parcels for more than 125 visually handicapped people and balance packets were given by Lion Kumari who is a member of Lions Club of New Century.

I take this opportunity to thank Leos from Leo Club of Colombo Circle, Leo Club of Colombo Plaza, Leo Club of Metro City, Leo Club of Colombo City, Leo Club Biyagama North, Leo Club of Biyagama for taking part in this mega project. Further they also guide the visually handicapped people at the walk. Thank you for the support and your commitment towards Leoism.

At this juncture I also would like to thank our respected Multiple District President for your attendance today. It added more value to the project. Further I should thank Leo Nimal (District Secretary) who put immense effort on photography. I will fail in my duty if I do not appreciate the support given by Leo Thiru, Leo Eswari, Leo Faiz and other members.

Thank you for making this project a successful one. We did it by working as a team.

Regards

Deepawali

Main purpose of celebrating Deepawali in such a excited way is to remove the shadow of poverty & lightening the human life with prosperity & happiness.

Deepawali means the festival of light. Deepawali also ushers the “Hindu New Year”. This is the most beautiful festivals of all Indians. Deepawali is a celebration of lights. Deepawali night is particularly a delightful pleasure to watch. Streets are enlighten with rows of clay lamps and home entrances are decorated with Rangoli (coloured powder designs).

People wake up early morning, massage body & hair with scented oil before bath. Numerous oil lamps decorated in the outdoor of all houses.

On the same night “Laxmi Poojan” is held and the Goddess is highly praised. Myth says that ‘Laxmi’ the Goddess of wealth visits all the houses, hence all the houses are well-lighted and the doors are kept
open. For children this night presents a best moment of excitement which gripped them days ago. Colorful & spectacular firecrackers are lighted and burnt. Deepawali is the only chance when all families & relatives gather together giving gifts & enjoying variety of sweets.
