Sri Lanka HC co-hosts DCWA Annual Charity Gala

The High Commission of Sri Lanka in New Delhi collaborated with the Delhi Commonwealth Women’s Association (DCWA), to co-host its Annual Charity Gala, at the ‘Sri Lanka House’ to raise funds for the Organisation’s social welfare projects recently.

Over its 71 years of existence, the DCWA has made a substantial impact on the lives of the less privileged sections of society through holistic development in healthcare, education, community services and child welfare for the less privileged in India.

High Commissioner of Sri Lanka to India Kshenuka Senewiratne remarked that through participation in the event, the HC also aimed to foster the people-to-people legacy between the two countries, going beyond the traditional realms of diplomacy and statecraft. She added that the two countries are also bound by the sari, and Sri Lanka is proud to have a vibrant apparel industry, and fabric crafted and nurtured by local artisans who have dedicated their lives to this endeavour.

DCWA Chairperson Sunitee Abbi underscored the work being carried out at the Organisation’s multi-disciplinary Medical Centre in Delhi, which has treated over 2 million patients and supported the dreams of countless students, special needs children and young adults. She noted that DCWA raises funds solely through donations and events such as the Annual Charity Gala.

CEO and renowned Creative Designer of Buddhi Batiks Darshi Keerthisena showcased her new collection leaving the audience spellbound by her unique batik designs. Inquiries from Indian ventures for collaboration are afloat.

SriLankan Airlines provided a return air ticket to Sri Lanka, coupled with a hotel stay offered by ITC Hotels at their soon-to-be-¬launched flagship property in the heart of Colombo, the ITC Ratnadipa, as the first prize of the raffle draw. Jetwing Travels, George Steuart Travels and Esna Holidays also offered exciting hotel stays in Sri Lanka for the raffle winners.
