The oldest Private Catholic School in Sri Lanka St. Benedict’s College Colombo 13 together with the Old Boys Union initiates the first CSR Project for 2022, on January 8. The Blood Donation Campaign expects to target over 150 to 200 Old Benedictines, family members, parents and affiliated partners.

The Old Boys Union of St. Benedict’s College is providing the leadership for such initiatives with the blessings of Rev. Bro. Director of the College – Dr. Pubudu Rajapakse. Apart from CSR Projects the Old Boys Union is also involved in several diverse activities which benefit the College and also the Community at large. They include Motivational and Leadership programmes, helping and assisting the College in Sports, Education, Spiritual and other diverse activities and the most important initiative being the creation of “Strategic Direction” for the College for the next five years.
