Anchor Achievers art competition in the South

Anchor launched the Anchor Achievers art competition for students in the Southern and Sabaragamuwa provinces in Galle recently. The competition was conducted in the Western and Central provinces in 2012. About 30,000 students are expected to take part this year.

Managing Director, Fonterra Brands Lanka, Leon Clement said, “Anchor is committed to inspiring and supporting children’s development and growth, we believe that this initiative will assist in the children’s long-term creative development.”“Last year the program touched over 50,000 students and parents in the Western and Central provinces and we are excited to be able to build on this in 2013. Our Anchor team will be visiting over 50 selected schools across the two provinces and encouraging them to submit a drawing, painting or other piece of art, based on their aspirations and achievements,” he said.

Anchor will be conducting the program at selected schools and the team will spend a week in each school, facilitating the art competition.

The program will focus on making learning fun, with the teams also running games and activities designed to motivate and encourage achievement and educate children, and their families, about nutrition. Member of Parliament for the Galle District, Dr. Ramesh Pathirana said,
