People’s Bank launches ‘PathumakThagi Karamu’ campaign in celebration of the literature month 2019
People’s Bank ceremoniously initiated the distribution of donations received from generous and charitable Sri Lankans for bank’s ‘Pathumak Thagi Karamu’ campaign at the B/ Kumarapattiya Ambagasdowa RajakeeyaVidyalaya recently.
In parallel, books and reading material were presented to the students in BandarawelaVisaka Central College as well. Many academic tools were also distributed at these events, in addition to books.
‘PathumakThagi Karamu’ campaign was launched in the hope of bringing quality reading material closer to the less privileged children of our nation, and is yet another example of People’s Bank being a pillar of strength to all sectors of the society.
Through its official Facebook page, bank appealed to its clientele, and all kind-hearted Sri Lankans, to donate any book that they have already enjoyed to their nearest branch. In addition, it was also requested to inscribe a positive wish on the front page, to serve as a source of strength to the child receiving the book.
People’s Bank, the bank at the fore-front of digitized banking in Sri Lanka, received an overwhelming number of responses to this request, which the public received through social media channels alone.
During the campaign, people from all over the country were rushing to bank’s branches, with tens and thousands of books, signifying the inherent generosity of our countrymen, and also the level of trust they put in People’s Bank.
