HSBC in partnership with Junior Chamber International Sri Lanka (JCI Sri Lanka) will hold the Ten Outstanding Young Persons of Sri Lanka Award (TOYP) 2010, in October.

CEO HSBC Sri Lanka and Maldives Nick Nicolaou, said "HSBC is pleased to be part of this prestigious event for the sixth year to honour young people who have reached the heights of progress in numerous human endeavours.

We also hope this will serve as an example to other young people in the country, by encouraging and inspiring them to follow suit, and help them realise their dreams and visions for the future."

The TOYP program was launched in the year 1980 in Sri Lanka and JCI Sri Lanka remains the leader in recognising the talents and achievements of young people in Sri Lanka.
