LycaHealth鈥檚 donation will support two different projects to be undertaken by Cambridge 探花直播 as part of the Lyca Group鈥檚 mission, to bring together people from all different backgrounds and be a part of the fabric of communities in which they have a presence.

探花直播donation will be split in two ways: 拢50,000 will go towards the 鈥淪ri Lankan Language Fund鈥 enabling the 探花直播 to establish a dedicated Sri Lankan language scheme for a period of five years. 探花直播donation cost will cover intensive full-time summer courses, or part-time 鈥榠n-sessional鈥 programmes at the university.

A further 拢100,000 will be used to improve public health in Sri Lanka through a pre-pilot project, run by the 探花直播 of Cambridge to extend the expertise of the Sri Lankan Heart Infarction and Neurological Event Study (SHINES). Building on the 探花直播鈥檚 exceptional record of public health support in Pakistan and Bangladesh the donation will cover local medical staffing costs, laboratory supplies and equipment, travel and training expenses. 探花直播seed donation will mean that within 3-5 years, SHINES will have gained a sufficient evidence base to secure long-term funding from larger medical bodies.

Jocelyn Wyburd, Director of the 探花直播 of Cambridge Language Centre said:

"I was fortunate enough to have the chance to visit Sri Lanka on holiday last summer for the first time and loved it! I'm therefore all the more excited about this relationship with LycaHealth and to have the chance to promote Sri Lanka's languages and an interest in the country to others."

探花直播 探花直播's Language Centre provides resources and courses to support language learning by all members of the 探花直播 community. It stocks learning resources in some 170 languages, including in the major two Sri Lankan languages (Tamil and Sinhala) and are able to offer supported self-study of these languages as individuals might require. 探花直播Sri Lankan language fund will enable the Centre to expand this provision, promoting the learning of Sri Lankan languages, not least to those who might be engaged in fieldwork in Sri Lanka as part of the accompanying public health initiative.

Jocelyn Wyburd added: 鈥淲e will engage further with Sri Lankan students in the 探花直播 to support learners face to face and to help us to develop supplementary online learning resources. We will also be able to provide financial support to Sri Lankan students who wish to develop further their academic skills in English to support their studies in the 探花直播."

Prema听Subaskaran, Chairperson of LycaHealth, said: 鈥淲e are delighted to be making the donations to such a reputable 探花直播 as Cambridge, to implement study on these worth-while causes. 探花直播investment mirrors our ethos of expanding the importance of healthcare across the globe whilst bringing together people from all types of backgrounds.鈥

探花直播donation comes soon after LycaHealth鈥檚 first centre was opened in London. 探花直播centre, located in Canary Wharf was opened by Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London. 探花直播Canary Wharf centre is the first step in LycaHealth鈥檚 growth plans, with further centres planned to open around the UK, South Asia and eventually Africa over the next five years.

Cambridge鈥檚 current 拢2 billion fundraising campaign for the 探花直播 and Colleges focuses on Cambridge鈥檚 impact on the world.听 Cambridge will be working with philanthropists to address major global problems, as it has done throughout the course of its history. More than 拢590 million has already been raised, including the gift from LycaHealth, and 30,000 donors have already given to the campaign.
