As a humanitarian club with the sole purpose of serving the community selflessly, putting smiles on the face of the less privileged ones of our society as well as contributing resources towards making the world a better place to live, Platinum Leo Club (youth activity of Isheri Platinum Lions Club) joined the world in commemoration of the world chocolate day by conducting an online Sensitization on the healthy benefits of moderate chocolate consumption, as well as organizing a project themed; GIFT A CHOCOLATE, which was mainly geared towards gifting out chocolate to the beggars especially their kids at Oju Irin, Onipanu.

Everyone who recieved a bar of chocolate expressed their appreciation to the club for such an unexpected gesture. The kids smiled radiantly as they had enough bars of chocolate to consume. Alas! It was a chocolate day indeed.

The kids happily took pictures with the members of the club at the end of the project and solicited for more gifts in coming days. It was indeed a great memory which will continue to linger in the heart of everyone who witnessed the project.

A rare “dwarf planet” 18 times smaller than Earth, has been discovered in the distant Solar System on an eccentric orbit far beyond Neptune, astronomers said Tuesday. Dubbed RR245, the icy world is currently about 9.7 billion kilometres (six billion miles) from the Sun — 65 times further than Earth, said astronomer Jean- Marc Petit of France’s CNRS research institute. “But its orbit is very elliptical, and it will be 19 billion km at its furthest point” from our star,” he told AFP. At the closest approach on its 700-year orbit, the planet will pass the Sun at a distance of some five billion km. Dwarf planets fall into a six-year-old category of celestial bodies. They are smaller than ordinary planets and orbit the Sun at a much greater distance, travelling in a zone littered with other objects like asteroids.
