“The invaluable and philanthropic partnership with Cool Planet’s Adriana brand and the Foundation of Goodness will have a significant impact on the lives of many villagers. The contribution made towards this worthy cause will benefit our vast projects centred on giving these innocent people a better life,” said Foundation of Goodness Founder Kushil Gunasekara. 
“Through our Andriana brand, Cool Planet is honoured to be part of such a magnanimous endeavour which will enrich the lives of many people. Compassion sparks a ripple effect and this long-term relationship between Cool Planet and the Foundation of Goodness is bound to create waves,” said Cool Planet CEO Rizwi Thahar.

The Foundation of Goodness is a non-profit NGO founded by the celebrated result-driven visionary, Kushil Gunasekara. His altruistic initiative began in 1999 in his ancestral village in Seenigama. Through the years, his efforts have been recognised by men of renown, who have contributed significantly towards the well-being of many villagers. 
With the foremost idea of rebuilding and rehabilitating lives, the Foundation of Goodness has established a network of individuals and corporates who willingly donate towards the general fund. Subsequently, the funds are utilised to promulgate projects such as education, scholarships, upgrading of school facilities, infrastructure, teaching/training, sports and medical care, depending on the most pressing needs. 
This partnership between Cool Planet and the Foundation of Goodness is a first among many of its future aspirations to partner with and donate to the compassionate causes promulgated by the Foundation of Goodness in securing a future for the downtrodden of society.
