Etisalat has introduced Affinity Packages to support local
schools. These packages were launched for
the Royal College Old Boys Union in celebration of Royal College’s 175thanniversary. The latest addition to the Affinity Packages is St. Aloysius’
College (Galle) in celebration of the 115th anniversary. The Affinity Packages was developed and
promoted as part of Etisalat’s commitment towards the uplifting and development
of schools, which benefit both the present and past pupils of the respective
institutions. The packages are opened to other Colombo and Outstation schools.
The Affinity Packages will help the schools maintain a
continuous fund that will financially assist different school projects as and
when the need arises, without having to request for sponsors. The St Aloysius
Package was developed to help raise
funds to help produce physical resources in St. Aloysius’ College, mainly the
renovation of the college main hall. The package is available to all members of
the Old Boy Association, staff and parents. Etisalat will make a monthly
contribution to the school as long as they are connected to the network, which
will provide a substantial contribution for the school’s developmental
activities.
Etisalat Director/CEO Dumindra Ratnayaka said, “This is an esteemed collaboration between us and one of Sri Lanka’s well respected schools and we look forward to being an active part of the school’s development. This is a package which will be applicable to some of Sri Lanka’s best and most renowned schools in and out of Colombo, and we hope to engage in many more activities of this nature where we can indirectly contribute to the development and sustainability of respected institutions.” Meanwhile, Dhammika Mahendre - President OBA said, “We Alloysians are always committed to developing our beloved school. With the introduction of the Etisalat loyalty package, now we can contribute to our school development process through our monthly cell phone bill without extra charges. Now we are enjoying better service while contributing to school development.
