Mahindians UAE, a dynamic community of alumni and well-wishers, has made a significant contribution to the Mahinda College Under-20 Basketball Team, amounting to LKR 110,000. This strategic investment, encompassing various forms of support, has played a pivotal role in the team’s recent achievements.
Our comprehensive package included essential sports equipment like basketballs, bookings for indoor courts, and vital nutrition in the form of food and supplements. Additionally, we provided a state-of-the-art coaching board, instrumental in strategic game planning. This diverse support structure ensured that the team had access to top-tier resources, fostering an environment conducive to athletic excellence.
A noteworthy aspect of our initiative was the direct involvement of the team’s Captain, Sasmitha Abeynayake. By channeling our support through him, Mahindians UAE not only bolstered the team’s capabilities but also provided Sasmitha with invaluable experience in project management. This opportunity enabled him to develop leadership and organizational skills, crucial for his personal growth and future endeavors.
The impact of our contribution is evident in the team’s impressive performance. The Mahinda College U-20 Basketball Team secured the fourth place in the prestigious A Division Under-20 National Tournament. Furthermore, their remarkable victory in the 2023 Annual Basketball Encounter against St. Aloysius College underscored their skill and determination.
At Mahindians UAE, we believe in nurturing young talents and providing them with platforms to excel. Our support for the Mahinda College Basketball Team exemplifies this commitment, as we continue to empower the youth and contribute to the sporting legacy of our alma mater.
