Sri Lankans in Kuwait have raised funds to help people afflicted with chronic kidney disease in the North Central Province through a musical show for which Commercial Bank of Ceylon was the main sponsor. Organised by the Society of Sri Lankans in Kuwait (SOSK) in collaboration with the Sri Lankan Embassy in Kuwait, the concert featured the popular artistes Kasun Kalhara and Kushani Sandareka. The Sri Lankan Ambassador in Kuwait C.A.H.M. Wijeratne was the Chief Guest at this event. The proceeds of the show will be utilised to provide water purification systems to schools and families that are victims of chronic kidney disease in the North Central Province. Several other local and foreign companies also extended support to this concert, which had a packed audience. The SOSK has conducted many such projects to help the needy Sri Lankans. These include scholarships to children of war heroes, construction of school buildings and donation of a chemotherapy medicine mixing machine to the National Cancer hospital. Kuwait has one of the biggest Sri Lankan expatriate populations in the Middle East.
