Ceylinco Life’s 85th classroom donation benefits Horana school

Ceylinco Life has gifted a purpose-built classroom building to a primary school in Horana, taking the number of classrooms donated by the Company to needy schools across the country to 85.In a unique engagement with the school community of the Pelpola Kanishta Vidyalaya, Ceylinco Life provided building materials to the value of Rs 1.35 million, and the parents of students, past pupils, and other well-wishers in the area contributed the labour needed to build the classroom.

This was the second occasion in Ceylinco Life’s flagship social responsibility initiative to build classrooms for schools that the beneficiary community provided the labour for construction.

The completion of the new building has provided the children of the school with a dedicated classroom to learn and practice dancing, freeing them from the constraints of the inadequate temporary shelter they had been using previously, the Company said. The Pelpola Kanishta Vidyalaya has 305 students.
