Leo Burnett Sri Lanka commemorated the UN international Vesak day with its apple dansala at Bauddhaloka Mawatha Vesak Kalapaya for the seventh consecutive year.

This year, the dansala featured a mural of apples to celebrate this very special Vesak celebration held in Sri Lanka under the patronage of world leaders. The mural was created from the donation of apples received from 3,000+ donors. Leo Burnett contributed two apples for every apple that was donated, resulting in the distribution of nearly 10,000 apples.

The agency’s Managing Director Ranil de Silva, along with a cross-section of Burnetters representing the diversity of the agency comprising people from a cross section of religions, ethnicities and agency departments came together to set up the mural and to distribute the apples to the community.

Numerous people representing friends of Burnetters, the agency’s business partners, clients and team members contributed apples to help create this unique mural of apples. The agency’s office was also decorated with traditional Vesak lanterns and the team got together on Vesak day to light lamps to celebrate this very special day.
