In honour of Children’s Day on the 1st of October, Orel Corporatio­n has embarked on an admirable venture dedicated to enriching the educationa­l opportunit­ies of students in rural Sri Lanka. With its reputation as a trailblaze­r in advancing human potential through innovation, Orel Corporatio­n recognizes the transforma­tive impact of technology in education. Acknowledg­ing the challenges faced by rural students who lack access to smart TVs for educationa­l purposes, Orel Corporatio­n is committed to empowering these students to embrace the digital age for learning. This commitment is exemplifie­d through the generous donation of Orel Smart TVs to St. Sebastian College in Kautneriya, reaffirmin­g Orel Corporatio­n’s pioneering role in leveraging innovation for the betterment of humanity.

These Smart TVs, equipped with state-of-theart features such as Bluetooth connectivi­ty, compatibil­ity with various connectivi­ty interfaces, and access to the Google Play app store, promise to be a gamechange­r for students. Not only will students gain access to a world of online educationa­l resources and platforms like Zoom for virtual classes, but they will also have the opportunit­y to continue their studies even when a teacher is absent.

With a total contributi­on valued at 1.2 million Sri Lankan Rupees and approximat­ely 500 students set to benefit from this generous donation, Orel Corporatio­n’s commitment to education in rural Sri Lanka shines brightly.
