Upholding true SriLankan values

DISTRIBUTION: SriLankan Airlines and the Singapore based Maha Karuna Bhudhist Society distributed educational material, school uniforms and dry rations to schoolchildren across Sri Lanka to mark the month of Poson.

The Airline and the Maha Karuna Bhudhist Society mostly comprising Buddhists of Chinese origin living in Singapore also gave away saffron robes to 600 young monks or Samaneras in the Kurunegala district.

SriLankan Airlines and its charitable arm SriLankan Cares are strong advocates for children’s welfare and have long supported the Singapore based society’s charitable activities with free and concessionary air freight and tickets to Sri Lanka.

SriLankan Airlines is also evaluating a proposal to build a library complex at the Naagala Viharaya in Nikawewa as part of its ongoing initiative to support education and children’s welfare.
