CEO, Serendib Flour Mills, Kevin O'leary said, "We are indeed proud
to bring a smile to the children of this school. Sri Lanka has a long
way to go in terms of creating equal opportunities for the differently-abled.
We hope to continuously support these children and assist them in their
path to successful integration with society."
Principal of the school, Samanthika Jayasuriya said, "This bus is a
most welcome donation and would definitely help the children travel to
competitions easily. Excursions and visits to exhibitions are also on
the agenda. This indeed would assist them in experiencing the world
better. We are much thankful for the generosity of Serendib Flour
Mills."
Identifying and addressing the needs of the School for the Deaf has
been a long standing CSR initiative of Serendib Flour Mills. They have
been working closely with the students of the school by providing them
with flour and baking lessons, and equipping them with skill-based
education. Serendib Flour Mills is one of the foremost flour mills in
Sri Lanka with an ultra-modern facility at the Colombo Port.
In the past, the school faced various difficulties supplementing the
student's transportation needs as they frequently travelled outside the
school for various extra-curricular activities. Serendib Flour Mills
stepped in after they identified this need and donated a bus to the
school.
