‘Sunrise’ once again for those sunset years
View(s):The Sunrise Senior Foundation (SSF), formed a year ago with a series of noble objectives to help, guide and be a mentor to Sri Lanka’s ageing population, will soon re-launch its magazine, ‘Sunrise’.
The English-language magazine printed on good quality paper and containing top-notch editorial content is edited by a senior Sri Lankan journalist and its articles will cover a range of stories and news beneficial to the elderly community and their families, companies and also institutions that provide products catering to this community.
The SSF promises to be a brighter and bolder magazine which will be published on a bi-monthly (once in two months) basis starting with the May/June issue which is due to be released in the first week of May 2018.
From stories pertaining to policy issues by the state concerning the country’s 60+ years population, insurance and investment advice, health and medical care, infrastructure in public spaces like banks, government departments, shopping malls, hotels, apartments, etc to ensuring minimum inconvenience to senior citizens, to shopping tips, gardening for leisure, games, jokes and institutions which may be contacted in an emergency, the magazine is set to fill a largely-unfilled need for information for senior citizens.
The foundation is a not-for-profit organization, whose Board of Directors comprises Kumar Nadesan, Tissa de Alwis, Tilak de Zoysa, T. Someswaran, Dr. Pramilla Senanayake and Feizal Samath (Chairman), bringing different levels of expertise and maturity to the organization. The directors are all volunteers.
