International Women's Day 2016: Recognizing the Unrecognized

Women work without a break for their families, society, and friends all through the year. So, on IWD 2016, LEAD conducted their 3rd annual "Recognizing the Unrecognized", where women in our society who are rarely recognized but are responsible for important work were recognized for their contributions, such as cleaning railway stations, bus stands, picking household trash, selling vegetables etc. LEAD and LEADers believe that, without these women, our communities would come to a standstill.

My Story: Prajwal M

I am passionate about science, especially physics. My affair with Science started during my childhood and it deepened in my high school when I started participating in Science exhibitions with my models. During Pre University Education, I built the Levitation Train with few of my friends and grabbed prizes at several competitions. “Physics of the Impossible” by Michio Kaku was a book that exposed me further to the vastness of the science and motivated me to start a science group called “Blackbody Science Group (Which Absorbs All Wavelength of Intuitive Minds)”. This group engages in creating interest about science among government and physically disabled school children.

LEAD Cultural Fiesta Raises Rs. 15K for Orphanage in Hubli

Posted on Sunday, October 13, 2013 by LEAD

From October 12th to 13th, 2013, hundreds of spectators gathered at the Deshpande Foundation to watch as college students performed and competed for a cause. With the slogan, "Let Your Talent Scream Aloud", LEAD Cultural Fiesta provided a platform for college students to showcase their talents and entertainment for the local community, all while raising money for the Sneha Sadana Orphanage in Hubli.

LEAD Fiesta was organized by Legacy, a group of LEAD students from Fatima College. LEADer James was the head organizer. The two-day event consisted of three main competitions: Alabanzo Dancing, Drohnen (music concert), and Mimodrame (mime act). The competitions featured solo, duet, and group acts, adding a degree of diversity and engagement.

A grand total of Rs. 15,000 was raised from the event. Rather than simply donating the money to the orphanage, the students have decided to purchase much-needed materials for the 60 children of the orphanage.

The success of LEAD Cultural Fiesta shows just what can happen when students and communities come together with a common goal.
