A Nuga sapling was also planted in the Maha Meyuna Uyana. Customers, staff and well-wishers were present.

A Holy Mass of Thanksgiving was also celebrated at the Supuwath Arana, Seeduwa under the patronage of the Bishop Dr. Emmanuel Fernando.

A special Abisheka pooja were held at the Nallur Kovil in Jaffna after which cots were gifted to the State Receiving Home, Kaithedy.

Seylan Bank also sponsored the cataract operations of 25 patients at the Kuwait Hospital in Puttalam.

Luhar (noon) prayers and blessings were held at the Puttalam Grand Mosque.

Seylan Bank donated newly refurbished libraries to four schools in various parts of the country. Among them were the Swarnapali Balika Maha Vidyalaya in Anuradhapura, Kopai Maha Vidyalayam in Jaffna, Fathima Muslim Girls’ School in Puttalam, and Raddolugama Kanishta Vidyalaya.

These were the forerunners of the 30 schools earmarked to receive libraries throughout the island.
