Lanka IOC supports Gothatuwa Maha Vidyalaya to combat COVID-19

School education during these pandemic times has been severely affected. Considering that now the schools have re-opened, the safety of schoolchildren become the topmost priority for the society, especially those from lower-income families. Lanka IOC which has always been sensitive and active towards social upliftment has further stepped up its commitment by donating stainless steel foot peddle operated hand washing sinks, digital thermometers, sanitisers, bottles of liquid hand wash and KN95 Kids Masks to WP/Jaya/ Gothatuwa Maha Vidyalaya at Angoda to ensure good hygienic practices whilst strengthening the preventive measures against the COVID-19 infection among schoolchildren.

On the special occasion Managing Director, Lanka IOC PLC Manoj Gupta said “We at Lanka IOC recognise education as one of the main pillars to a nation’s progress and future. He said “Following and practising the COVID protocols and safety guidelines is of paramount importance for everyone.” and urged students to spread that message amongst their friends and families.

The school has a total student population of 700 with a staff of 30 and classes are conducted from Grade 1 to 11. The school was selected by Lanka IOC, takiging into consideration the fact that the school lacked many basic infrastructure facilities. The Vice Principal of the school Ms. Malhari Paranavithana along with its acedemic staff and students extended their thanks to Lanka IOC for coming forward and donating the much-needed facilities for the safety of children in the fight against the pandemic.

As a part of its ongoing efforts to support the Country’s endeavour to mitigate the challenges of the Pandemic, recently Lanka IOC donated 100 new Samsung smart phones to the Ministry of Education, GoSL and very hygienic dry rations to numerous families of Sri Lanka Welfare Society of the Blind Women (SLWSBW).

Lanka IOC is operating with strong fundamentals and always endeavour to connect with society in the various CSR activities by way of unique and effective projects that add value to the society.
