**Colombo, Sri Lanka** – Shinnyo-en Lanka Preschool, renowned for its dedication to community service, recently hosted its 33rd Annual Blood Donation Drive at the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) in Narahenpita. The event, which drew a large number of donors, exemplified the Preschool’s commitment to fostering compassion and social responsibility.

“The blood donation program truly embodies the core principle of selflessly serving others,” stated Director Ikeda Mikinori of Shinnyo-en Lanka Preschool. “This aligns perfectly with our aim to instill values such as empathy and altruism within our students while providing them a wholesome education.”

Since its establishment in 1987, Shinnyo-en Lanka Preschool has provided free, high-quality education for children aged 3 to 5, combining Montessori techniques with the National Policy on Preschool Education.
