26 July 2023, Colombo: Seylan Tikiri, the beloved Children’s Savings brand of the Bank with a Heart, recently collaborated with the Wildlife and Nature Protection Society (WNPS) to organise a captivating online event focused on educating children about the fascinating process of pollination.
The special event, held on June 17th, witnessed an enthusiastic turnout of WNPS’ very own Wild Kids. Additionally, the event was open to all other children as well, providing them with an opportunity to delve into the world of pollination.
The programme commenced with an engaging introduction to the concept of pollination, exploring the transmission of pollen, the vital role of pollinators, the methods used by plants to attract these important creatures, and an exploration of why pollination is crucial for the ecosystem. During this interactive session, the children amassed a wealth of knowledge on this process which is essential to sustain life on earth.
As a highlight of the event, the participants took part in the Tikiri mini challenge, where they showcased their artistic talents by illustrating themselves as pollinators. Among the many remarkable paintings, Dilan Pujitha Gunawardhana, a talented 7-year-old Wild Kid, emerged as the winner of the Tikiri mini challenge.
Dilan’s exceptional creativity and dedication to capturing the essence of a pollinator earned him the well-deserved recognition. In recognition of Dilan’s outstanding achievement, he was presented with fabulous Tikiri gifts as a reward for his efforts. This gesture aimed to encourage his passion for nature and further nurture his creative spirit.
The collaboration between Seylan Tikiri and WNPS exemplifies their commitment to empowering children with knowledge and fostering a love for nature. By providing a platform for learning and creativity, the event successfully inspired young minds to appreciate the intricate process of pollination and the importance of preserving our planet’s pollinators.
