Ceylinco Life extends ‘Family Savari’ with carnival in Kurunegala for 1,600 people

-

More than 1,600 people from all over Sri Lanka’s Wayamba Province come together recently in a firstof- its- kind congregati­on that had one dominant objective – unbridled family fun – literally at the expense of Ceylinco Life, the country’s biggest life insurer.

The prototype ‘ Family Savari Carnival’ at the Udawalpola Grounds in Kurunegala, was an extension of the Company’s ‘ Family Savari’ concept, under which more than 26,000 Sri Lankans have enjoyed overseas and local family holidays over the past 12 years, and another 2,620 people will benefit this year in addition to the 1,600 that attended the Carnival.

Open to Ceylinco Life policyhold­ers, their family members and special invitees of Ceylinco Life branches in the area, the Carnival in Kurunegala was attended by people from Kurunegala, Alawwa, Anamaduwa, Galgamuwa, Kuliyapiti­ya, Melsiripur­a, Maho, Nikawerat i ya , Naramma la , Panduwasnu­wara, Pannala, Wa r i y a p o l a and Mawathagam­a.

For their entertainm­ent, Ceylinco Life provided a mini Merry-Go-Round, mini train rides, jet rides, bouncy castles, digital and virtual reality games, balloon darts, a magic show, face painting, live cartoon characters, art and craft, and free candy floss and popcorn, all the ingredient­s of a day at the carnival.

“Ceylinco Life is one huge family of a million lives protected with life insurance from the Company, and our Family Savari promotions have provided a strong demonstrat­ion of the value of families spending time together,” Ceylinco Life Managing Director Mr Thushara Ranasinghe said. “This promotion has also helped foster amity and unity across geographic­al, racial, religious and socio-economic divides, fully justifying not just our continuing investment in it, but in extending its reach through carnivals of this nature.”
