The top three performers at the 2015 GCE Ordinary Level examination received Lenovo Laptops from Abans at a live telecast of the presentation on the 8 p.m. news of Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation.
The top performers at last year’s O’ Level examination were Sathsarani Hettiarachchi of Visakha Vidyalaya, Colombo, Samal Punsara of Nalanda College, Colombo, while R.M. Ratnayake of Devi Balika Vidyalaya, Colombo and I. Ratnayake of Mahamaya Girls College, Kandy were placed third respectively.
Those present at the occasion were SLRC Director General Prof. Sunil Shantha, SLRC Director Marketing Anil Sirimalwatta, SLRC Director News Shirley Anil De Silva, Abans Information Systems Director Chathura Jayawardena and Abans Assistant Brand Manageress Dimuthu Wickremasinghe.
Abans would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the achievers and wish them best of luck on their future endeavours. Very few students in Sri Lanka have the privilege of on-line access to various educational information, which seriously affects their ability to improve their knowledge of information and technology skills. Computer knowledge stretches far beyond the student stage of one’s life. Basic IT knowledge and application is now a prerequisite for almost any job and a must to build a successful career. Abans believe that equipping talented students through their secondary and tertiary educational years will prepare them for what awaits them when they are ready to launch their careers.
Abans having realised the implications of this digital divide have made a genuinely heartfelt move by launching ‘From Your Laptop to Their Future’ to empower bright young minds who will be the future leaders of our nation. Understanding the importance that computers provide in today’s world, in education and in enhancing the knowledge of students, Abans were very concerned about providing IT facilities to under privileged students and took up the challenge as a CSR initiative, to provide Laptops to deserving students. This is the fifth occasion on which Abans have presented free Laptops to students as a part of their continuous CSR initiative ‘From Your Laptop to Their Future’.
A laptop donation drive of such a magnitude has never before been carried out by a single corporate entity in Sri Lanka. Rather than limiting the donation to a few educational institutes, this initiative of Abans will benefit students from all over the island.
Abans is the exclusive partner for LENOVO laptops and tabs in Sri Lanka and authorised partner for leading global brands of laptops, computers, IT equipment and accessories from DELL, HP and ACER which are very popular in Sri Lanka for their superior quality and performance, backed by Abans reliable guarantee, after-sales-service and affordable easy payment terms, and are available at all Abans showrooms and authorised dealers island-wide.
