SLIM hosts ‘Smiles’ CSR initiative at Sanhinda Children’s Home
Seeking to bring joy and a sense of care to children who live without parental care and love, SLIM organised the annual CSR project at Sanhinda Children’s’ Home in Padukka recently.
The project, which was named ‘Smiles’ was organised for the second consecutive year in order to share the festive happiness of the Sinhala and Tamil New Year with 20 children from the home and to bring them the satisfaction of celebrating the joys of the season.
The new year event, which was held from 9:00a.m. to 5:00p.m. offered a variety of fun activities and Avurudu games for the children. Much to the marvel and appreciation of the audience the children showcased a variety of hidden talents.
The humbly joyous children were ecstatic to receive individual gifts based on their requirements. In addition to bringing laughter, joy and excitement to the children, this event also contributed to the development of the children’s home with the donation of sports equipment, books and other essential commodities for them.
SLIM President Pradeep Edward said:“the culture at SLIM is customarily aimed at providing services in the form of education to the aspiring marketers. Here at SLIM, we stress upon the importance of social responsibility so that all our employees can contribute towards creating a better society. Hence, the CSR project ‘Smiles’ conducted by SLIM, provided a great platform for us to engage with the children and provide a memorable experience enriched with the Avurudu celebrations.”
SLIM staff and council members participated in this event to share the love and laughter with the children. The SLIM team created a homely yet festive atmosphere by decorating and arranging the main hall of the children’s home. The staff organised an exemplary and memorable new year celebration for the children where they enjoyed the friendliness and warmth in a pleasurable environment.
