The initiatives included partnering with the STEMUP Foundation to empower student entrepreneurship through STEM education, conducting an enlightening ‘Hour of Code’ workshop, contributing to the ‘Sithak Athnam Pothak Denna’ book donation program, and promoting environmental sustainability through a tree-planting project.
Supporting another school in the area, the SLT-MOBITEL team also visited the Alakolamada Junior School in Raththota, Matale, a remote area with significant needs, where members of the Marketing Services Division repaired three non-functional computers at the school. Additionally, school bags and exercise books were donated to the students, and a valuable book pack was contributed to the school library.
