Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM) recently completed the donation of stationery items to a large number of students who were affected by the floods, fulfilling its national responsibility during a time of crisis.
The donation took place at Henry Olcott Vidyalaya in Kolonnawa, which was one of the most affected areas in the island, with over 18,000 families.
SLIM Secretary Suranjith Swaris, SLIM CEO Sanath Senanayake and SLIM Lecturers G.S. Sylvester, Maxwell Ranasinghe and Ravi Opatha along with Senior Manager Membership Services and Development Chamil Wickremasinghe and his membership team, were present at the occasion.
“As the national body for marketing, we have a responsibility towards all Sri Lankans in their time of need. As education is one of the primary arms of our institute, we have donated stationery items in order to enable these students to continue their education,” stated SLIM President Upul Adikari.
“I thank all those who donated items, including the members of SLIM, lecturers and staff. Your magnanimity will ensure that the students in Kolonnawa will be able to resume their studies that were brought to halt by the flooding,” said SLIM CEO Sanath Senanayake.
SLIM is the national body for marketing and offers the most sought-after proprietary postgraduate and diploma programmes in the fields of marketing and sales.
