As an organization that believes in team play, Amana Takaful
Insurance, recently tied up with Wesley College as the official insurer
of the first fifteen rugby team. The rugby team will be provided medical
insurance cover for injuries that may occur during practices and
matches.
"Rugby is a game that involves risk but fosters leadership, physical
strength and team spirit and school rugby is the foundation they build
upon. This was the reasoning behind the sponsorship of the Wesley
College rugby team," said Nazeem Ghaffor, Manager Sales and Distribution
of Amana Takaful Insurance.
In the past Wesley College has produced a number of talented players
who went on to represent the country. The sponsorship by Amana Takaful
Insurance is truly a motivating factor for those involved with the
administration of a great sport like rugby, said Laksanda Gunawardana,
an Old Wesleyite and the General Secretary of the Wesley Rugby
Development Union.
The medical cover provided by Amana Takaful Insurance is a
comprehensive cover for in-patient treatments for the players in the
event of injuries that occur during practice sessions and matches.
