The Kingsbury Hotel, Colombo, The premier five star hotel in the leisure sector of Hayleys PLC recently provided the gift of knowledge to over 40 children in the Pamunugama Child Development Centre. The children were present during the Christmas tree lighting of the hotel and subsequently received a donation of over 400 children’s books, seasonal goodies and other stationary supplies.

“As part of our CSR arm Kingsbury Nurtures, this project is dear to us as we wanted to give back to those who need it the most. We set up a collection box in the hotel premises during December and invited our guests to be a part of this notable venture. We strongly feel that by providing children with the necessary tools today, we can ensure that they will have a brighter tomorrow as they will be in a position to improve the well-being for themselves as well as their communities”, remarked Christine Chevalaz, General Manager of The Kingsbury Hotel, Colombo.

Ms BKSM Rodrigo, Matron of the Pamunugama Child Development Centre, added “On behalf of the children I wish to express my appreciation to the staff and management of The Kingsbury for not only supplying educational material to help them improve their quality of life, but also coming to spend time in spite of their busy schedule.”
