Manusath Derana Maliban Children’s Day of Affection.

Manusath Derana and Maliban dedicated this year’s World Children’s Day to 100 children from very rural areas who had never seen the City of Colombo. In order to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience of witnessing Colombo for the first time, pupils from Old Madhyavachiya School, Mahasenpura, Trincomalee, and Rookwood No. 1 Tamil school at Rookwood Estate in Hewahata Hagurankheta in Nuwara Eliya district departed very early morning for Colombo on the 19th.

The Manusath Derana crew extended a warm welcome to the youngsters who arrived in Derana, and following lunch, they were given lodging at the Subodhi Institute in Piliyandala.

Children had the best time singing, dancing, and showcasing their talents with the Manusath Derana team in the evening while Maliban offered gifts to each child. 

Ragama Leesons Hospital donated water-purifying machinery to both schools. For everyone, this joyful evening that concluded with dinner was a novel experience.

The kids visited the Colombo Museum on the morning of the 20th and went to the DSI showroom of the Union Place, where each child was gifted shoes by the DSI board members and the staff. The children enjoyed the lunch and had a great time at Derana learning about the workings of a media company. 

Children enjoyed singing and dancing at the Galle Face Green after touring Colombo Lotus Tower, where they were given school bags by Ragama Leesons Hospital. The kids then went off to their villages with enduringly positive memories and experiences.
