CLC conducts Poson Dansala

For the second consecutive year Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo hosted a Poson Dansala near the Gangarama Temple on June 4.

The CLC team comprised approximately 90-100 associates from all departments who gathered on the Poya Day to assist with the preparation and distribution of meal packets. They had begun preparations with meals being cooked at the hotel premises early Monday morning preparing 4,000 packets for distribution at the Dansala.

The hotel’s kitchen staff took on the challenge of cooking a large quantity of yellow rice, dhal curry, brinjal moju and soya curry complimented with seeni sambol.

The turnout for the Dansala was immense with distribution beginning at 6.30pm and lasting approximately an hour. Associates distributed a meal packet and a cup of yoghurt to each member of the public. The recipients included senior citizens, differently-abled people, parents and children. Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo General Manager Denis Gruhier expressed his pride in the team. “We are delighted to note the overwhelming response we received from our associates.

Gathering the volunteers required to assist in the cause was effortless.” Staying true to the John Keells Leisure Sector Pledge “I Will Care” the project strengthened the employee’s team spirit.The hotel hopes to return next year with another Dansala and aims to exceed expectations and cater to a higher demand to satisfy the growing crowd.
