Business leaders, professionals to spread message of patriotism

Chairperson of the Mother Sri Lanka Trust, Janaki Kuruppu, hands over a copy of the Mother Sri Lanka coffee table book to Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa.

A host of Sri Lanka's top business leaders and professionals were initiated at a special event, as ambassadors of Mother Sri Lanka.

The not for profit organisation aims at building patriotism and positive thinking in Sri Lankans.

The expectation is that these professionals, will then use their vantage point as front-runners to spread Mother Sri Lanka's message of appreciation of the motherland and call to action towards giving back to the country.

As many of these leaders make frequent visits to foreign countries and have built enduring international relationships, it is anticipated that they will circulate Sri Lanka's story overseas to bring in new investments and negate false impressions. Membership into the movement will continue to remain open.

A coffee table book detailing the journey of the organisation was also launched at the event.
