Perera & Sons (P&S) provides desks and chairs to Pemaduwa Siddartha Maha Vidyalaya in collaboration with the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce. Perera & Sons (P&S), from its humble beginnings has come a long way to becoming one of Sri Lanka’s widespread F&B business chain. P&S has generously contributed towards many CSR activities in various forms throughout the years.
In March, 2018, P&S with the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, the Anuradhapura District Chamber of Commerce and the Divisional Education Director, Villachchiya, planned to implement a CSR initiative fulfilling an urgent need of desks and chairs to Grade 6 students of Siddartha Maha Vidyalaya of Pemaduwa in Anuradhapura District. Pemaduwa Siddaratha Maha Vidyalaya currently has 650 students. A majority of these students come from farming families, who have been affected due to the severe drought in the area for three consecutive seasons.
One hundred desks and chairs were presented to the school by P&S at the beginning of the second term at a ceremony with the participation of the Anuradhapura District Chamber of Commerce, the Divisional Education Director, Villachchiya, the Principal, teachers, invitees, and the students of the schools.
