Abbotsleigh Estate of Hatton Plantations conducted donations worth of 4Million for deserving students in Hatton – By Nisal Rukshan
The Abbotsleigh estate of the G&G group of companies, Hatton Plantations, is situated in the central province in the Nuwara Eliya district, closer to Hatton. The majority of the population living in the suburbs of this estate are daily-wage labourers. Many school students in these needy families are having hardships due to a lack of school accessories.
By considering these needs, the Abbotsleigh estate donated school accessories worth 4 million recently as a Corporate Social (CSR). The donation programs were held in simple arrangements at a few selected, convenient locations where those beneficiaries were able to attend without hindering educational or other commitments.
550 school students in the Abbotsleigh area benefited from this program. They received those school accessories, including books, pens, pencils, A4 bundles, erasers, colour- pencils, pastels, pencil boxes, and many more.
Mr. Garry Seaton, Chairman G& G Group of Companies, Mr. Menaka Athukorala, Executive Director, Hatton Plantations PLC, together with all directors, joined hands to successfully conduct this mage humanistic CSR program, which was conducted by the Florance Fairtrade Society, led by Mr. Suranga Deela, Regional General Manager and Manager of Abbotsleigh Estate, and all members of the estate.
“The program was staged to assist needy families and students in overcoming emerging difficulties and strengthening them with proper education as future leaders. As a responsible organization, we are always with them to stand strong” stated a Hatton plantations official during an awarding programme.
