Supporting initiatives that nurture creativity, cultural appreciation and a strong sense of community is an important part of building an inclusive future for Sri Lanka. Through our partnership with SOS Children’s Villages, HNB was pleased to support an initiative that enabled children to express themselves, develop valuable life skills and aspire towards a brighter future,” commented Sanjay Wijemanne, Chief Operating Officer, HNB.
