The Sri Lanka-Canada Business Council of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce joined hands with the Rotary Club of Colombo Metropolitan to sponsor children for heart surgery.

With more than 3,000 children born with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) in Sri Lanka each year, the donation of funds will be of direct benefit to children on Lady Ridgeway Hospital’s waiting list, giving them a life-altering chance to undergo surgery which could help them lead a normal and healthy adult life.

For this generous cause, SLCBC members contributed individually with a total amounting to Rs. 500,000. Prima Ceylon Ltd. – Rs. 150,000, Ceyline Shipping Ltd. – Rs. 100,000, Thames International Educational Consultancy Ltd. – Rs. 50,000, Mclarens Group Management Ltd. – Rs. 50,000, Infomate Ltd. – Rs. 50,000, Spillburg Holdings Ltd. – Rs. 25,000, Lidecshi Group of Companies – Rs. 25,000 and from SLCBC – Rs. 50,000.
