Ebert Silva Holidays and Ebert Silva Foundation celebrated The Founder’s Day in a weeklong series of CSR events to mark the Founder’s Day, the 87th birth anniversary of Ebert Silva, on 2 November. Among them, 60 mothers and fathers of Janadara Elder’s Home in Idama, Moratuwa were treated to a splendid evening.
A joyful occasion looked forward to eagerly by the senior citizens, the day was filled with songs, music, treats and a rare opportunity to have a joyful ride around the city on an open top bus with live calypso band playing their favourite melodies. The group was excited and delighted to see the new developments of the city and how much it has changed and developed since they saw it last.
The highlight was a cherished visit to the serene Gangarama Seema Malakaya in the middle of the picturesque Beira Lake, in the heart of Colombo. The group worshipped and prayed to their hearts’ content and returned with memories of a joyful and treasured day.
“Celebrating our Founder’s Day, we are happy to continue the ideals and values of our founder with a weeklong series of worthy CSR events. They have been caretakers of our future and custodians of our traditions and values. Showing appreciation, love and care to these senior citizens who have contributed their best, selflessly to society is a duty by us all,” said Ebert Silva Holidays Chairperson Rajini de Silva Mendis.
