ATL (Amãna Takaful) Life recently partnered with the Gampola, Udapalatha Divisional Secretariat to host an event for the local pre-schools to celebrate World Children’s Day under the theme ‘Lend a hand to protect their precious childhood’ at Zahira College, Gampola. The fun filled day saw the attendance of Udapalatha Assistant Divisional Secretariat H.M.D.S. Wijeratne, ATL Life AGM Asif Raheem, staff of ATL Life, pre-school children from nearby schools and their parents.

The event saw the participation of 260 children from 48 pre-schools with over 200 parents supporting the event. The theme for the event ‘Lend a hand to protect their precious childhood’ aimed to highlight the importance of early development in children and how parents and the environment parents create for their children at home, play a vital role in the child’s upbringing.

The event consisted of a talent show, art competition and fun games and winners received special gifts sponsored by ATL Life. A felicitation was held to recognise and appreciate pre-school teachers for the role they play in ensuring the development of children, followed by a Q&A session with the parents.

Commenting on the event ATL Life AGM Asif Raheem stated, “We at ATL are proud to partner with the Divisional Secretariat Udapalatha, Gampola to host such a unique event to celebrate World Children’s Day. This event conveys a valuable message about the important role that parents play in the lives of their children. Our children are tomorrow’s leaders. To create a confident generation of leaders, and above all responsible citizens they must enjoy a safe, secure and happy childhood. With a lot going on in the current world, it is important to educate parents on how they can nurture and develop their children from an early age. Though schools play an important role, parents too play an important role in their upbringing.”
