Cathay Pacific Airways works with Kala Musu Kadella

Cathay Pacific Airways Colombo team spent an evening interacting with children at the Kala Musu Kadella, a home for children in Kalutara, 40 km from Colombo. It is a home for children who are victims of abuse, abandoned by families or dropped out of school for long periods.

Kala Musu Kadella is registered under the child care and probation department and the children have all been brought from probation or courts. It works for the development of the children. Currently it is home to 45 children – 24 boys and 21 girls from the age of 6 to 16 years.  

Cathay Pacific Sri Lanka supported Kala Musu Kadella home with painting their Girls Home. All materials required for the initiative was donated by Cathay Pacific and some of the team members also pitched in with the painting job. Cathay Pacific also sponsored food, toiletries, stationery and some necessities required by the home. The team had an enriching interactive session with the children over lunch and a fun evening with games and snacks.  

Sharing his enthusiasm on this occasion, Country Lead and Sales and Marketing Manager for Sri Lanka and Maldives – Vishnu Rajendran said, “It was such a wonderful experience to collaborate with Kala Musua Kadella and visit their home. The children exuberated lots of joy and enthusiasm. Cathay Pacific has always been supportive and worked for the development of children. We endeavour to plan more of such events in the future and to be able to contribute towards the community.”
