In line with its corporate social responsibility, TNT Express in Sri Lanka has donated shoes to school children at Makehelwela Vidyalaya in Mawanella, the Central Province of Sri Lanka.

The donation was an initiative made by the TNT Express’ employees who contributed 136 pairs of children’s shoes as a dedication to give back to the local community and as a reflection of the company’s principles to support the Sri Lankan youth, the company said in a statement.
