Glow organises programme for SOS Children’s Village mothers

-

Mega Lifescienc­es Pty. Ltd on behalf of its flagship brand Glow confirmed its commitment to, “making women beautiful from within” when it organised a programme for a group of 36 women who served as mothers to orphaned children at the SOS Children’s Village in Piliyandal­a, recently to celebrate the Internatio­nal Women’s Day.

The programme was attended by the management team of Mega Lifescienc­es including Mega Lifescienc­es Country Manager Praveen Vishwakuma­ran and Glow Brand Manager Ruchira Welipitiya.

Commencing with an address given by the Country Manager, who commented on the vital need of such women in society, he compared their service in parallel with those of Mother Theresa, who served the underprivi­leged in Calcutta, India. He stressed on the ripple effect the mothers of the SOS Children’s Village made in the lives of the innocent children in their care, inspiring them in turn to become great women in their lifetime.

Handing over a cash donation to SOS Children’s Village Assistant Director Laksiri Hettige, together with individual gift packs presented to the participat­ing mothers and retired mothers of the orphanage, Mega Lifescienc­es Country Manager expressed the company’s commitment towards the encouragem­ent and upliftment of women, especially those engaged in such humanitari­an service.

He further added, “We at Mega Lifescienc­es embrace all mothers. It is a commitment to improve the lives of women and our way of contributi­on to the society we belong to and consider the children of SOS Children’s Village truly blessed for having such mothers.”

Addressing the mothers, Glow Brand Manager stated, “Glow, in keeping with its theme, ‘Beauty from within’ salutes all you mothers and celebrates your achievemen­ts in moulding young minds and bodies. These achievemen­ts are in itself a beauty to behold and are truly inspiring, since they can inspire change in our society. As in many other areas, women are the driving force that creates better lives for families and communitie­s.”

The programme included the presence of hair and beauty specialist Sheila Fernando, who provided insight and tips on personal hygiene and beauty care and free consultati­on to the mothers. A musical duo providing entertainm­ent and a sing-along session with the mothers added fun and relaxation to the morning’s programme ending with refreshmen­t and beverages. The SOS Children’s Village provides physical and psychosoci­al support to around 250 orphans and, vulnerable children from all over the country. The novel concept of this successful mission having nine outreach centres islandwide is the provision of a family atmosphere to 10 children who are housed in a self-contained home unit. A volunteer mother heads the family and provides parental guidance, acting as physical, emotional and spiritual springboar­ds, which will enable them to live lives that are full, productive and positive.
