Hilton Colombo celebrated its 37th anniversary with a meaningful community initiative, offering a hands-on pastry training session to students from The Ceylon School for the Deaf and Blind in Ratmalana.

Led by two differently-abled team members from Hilton Colombo, the session aimed to inspire and equip the students with practical culinary skills. The students learned the art of cake preparation and were presented with certificates and essential pastry tools, including nozzles, cake trays, palette knives, and turning tables, to continue their culinary journey.

“Spending quality time with these talented individuals and witnessing their passion and dedication has been truly inspiring. It brings me great joy to contribute to their growth and to support their dreams,” said Manesh Fernando, General Manager for Hilton Colombo and Area General Manager for Sri Lanka at Hilton. “At Hilton Colombo, we are deeply committed to engaging with our community and making a positive impact. We look forward to continuing our efforts in various community initiatives and partnerships,” he added.

Following the training session with the students, a panel discussion took place, followed by a delightful breakfast buffet for all Team Members. The anniversary celebrations were attended by distinguished guests, including Patsy Ng and several other regional Team Members. The event was led by Manesh Fernando, Area General Manager for Hilton Sri Lanka and General Manager for Hilton Colombo, along with the General Managers of all Hilton properties across the country.
