The Seva Vanitha Branch of Sri Lanka Signal Corps (SLSC-SVB) in close cooperation with the SLSC regimental centre at Panagoda this morning (4) held a donation ceremony to distribute stock of 24 tablet devices among the most deserving school children of other rankers and civil staff who are serving in the SLSC since many students in SLSC families were found unable to afford such exorbitant purchases, inevitably required for online studies during this pandemic era’s e-learning process. Following arrangements were put in place at the regimental centre conference hall by the SLSC SVB.
Mrs Sajeewani Peiris, Hon. President, SLSC-SVB graced the occasion as the chief guest and a few other members of SLSC-SVB, officers, and school children of Other Rankers and civil staff were among those present during the event. Tablet devices each with a value of Rs 34000 were symbolically awarded for children who participated. The ceremony was conducted following covid-19 health guidelines with a limited number of attendees.
The total sponsorship of this donation was made by United Sri Lanka Association (USLA) which was founded in 1983 in New Zealand to provide collective support on matters regarding Sri Lanka. It supports the social and cultural advancement of the Sri Lankans living in New Zealand. This donation was made possible through Mrs Yashoda Jayawardhana, the secretary of the USLA as a result of the Ranaviru fund which they have started in the year 2009 to help security forces personnel annually.
