Abans present 100th laptop to deserving student

Continuing their CSR initiative year after year, Abans presented laptops to nine deserving students. With this presentation Abans reached the important milestone of presenting the 100th laptop to a deserving student. This is the fifth occasion on which Abans have presented free laptops to deserving students as a part of their continuous CSR initiative ‘From Your Laptop to Their Future’.

The presentation was made at the 3rd Floor Training Room of Abans Head Office in Kollupitiya on Thursday 20 October in the presence of Abans General Manager Chathura Jayawardana, Abans Brand Manager Dimuthu Wickremasinghe, students and their parents.

Students were selected from the response Abans received to their newspaper advertisement regarding the fifth phase of their CSR initiative From Your Laptop to Their Future.  Those students who were in higher education were given preference as they were the ones who needed the laptops most. The nine students who received laptops were: M.M. Shamil – Lunugala, W.P.L.C. Jayawardana – Ipologama, Yasiptha Jayasinghe – Karadeniya, K.A.N. Madushani – Ellawala, R.D.I.H. Ranasinghe – Nugegoda, T.A.J. Shashikala Thembuwana – Wariyapola, Vihanga Kavinda – Ratnapura, S.M.G. Senanayaka – Kuliyapitiya and J.A.S.A. Jayamini – Kadawatha

Abans have always given high priority to youth development and education, and they have concentrated their CSR initiatives towards this area. Understanding the importance that computers provide in today’s world, in education and in enhancing the knowledge of students, Abans is very concerned about providing IT facilities to under privileged students and have taken up the challenge,  as a CSR initiative,  to provide Laptops to deserving students. 

It is a pity that very few students in Sri Lanka have the privilege of on-line access to a wealth of educational information which seriously affects their ability to improve their knowledge of information and technology skills. Abans having realised the implications of this digital divide have made a genuinely heartfelt move by launching From Your Laptop to Their Future to empower bright young minds who will be the future leaders of our nation.

A laptop donation drive of such a magnitude has never before been carried out by a single corporate entity in Sri Lanka except Abans. Rather than limiting the donation to a few educational institutes, this initiative of Abans will benefit students from all over the island. 

Abans is the No.1 Laptop promoter in Sri Lanka of all the leading brands such as HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer and Apple, which are very popular in Sri Lanka for their superior quality and performance, backed by Abans reliable guarantee, after-sales-service and affordable easy payment terms, and are available at all Abans showrooms and authorised dealers island-wide.
