Dialog facilitates Mahawewa Sivraja deaf and blind school

It was a memorable day for the kids of the Mahawewa Sivraja deaf and blind school when they received new computers, music instruments and a newly refurbished hostel from the Change Trust - the CSR project of the Dialog Telekom.

The deaf and blind school, a personal donation of the renowned artist Solius Mendis in 1958, housed some 130 physically challenged kids and is manages by the All Ceylon Buddhist Congress.

Their hostel was refurbished and colour-washed through a shramadana by the staff of the Change Trust. The new computers and music instruments were handed over to the Principal Niranjalee Wickramanayake by Manager Dialog Telekom Nirosha Dissanayake.

"We receive government grants only for staff salaries. We have to seek assistance from donors and well-wishers for the maintenance and other work of the institution," said Wickramanayake.

Dialog Telekom responded to our plea within a very short period. "The Dialog Telekom staff was extremely kind enough to conduct a shramadana campaign and fulfil a major requirement of the school," she said.

The donation of computers and music instruments is a great help to develop the skills of these needy kids, she added.

Manager Dialog Telekom Nirosha Dissanayake said that his company is geared to dedicate itself for the betterment of the physically challenged children and this program is one of many such projects.

"We will do our best to bring some light into their lives," he added.
