As the President of Victoria College Old Students Union (UK), it is a great pleasure to send this message for the 30th anniversary of the Victoria College Old Students Association (Canada).

We, as the alumni, are the foremost ambassadors for our school and currently play a vital role in the development of our Alma mater with our strong support. We nurture a rich culture among the alumni, which leads to the building of a strong and connected global alumni network.

Our global Alumni Associations are contributing in multiple ways. Across the years, we have provided financial support in order to improve our institution and offer current students with opportunities and resources we did not have. We are embarking together on a journey that would benefit both the alumni and our school.

At this juncture, I proudly say that our UK Old Students Union is also celebrating our 30th anniversary, as we inaugurated our Union in July 1995. The celebrations will be held in the middle of this year, and we cordially invite you all to join us.

Over the last 30 years, our UK branch have made huge contributions to the school. To mention a few: renovating the main hall, building the canteen and purchasing the land for one of the buildings. Our union donated around six thousand UK pounds to the tsunami fund in 2004. Recently, our union contributed nearly twelve lakhs Srilankan rupees for our 150th anniversary fund.

Finally, on behalf of the members and the executive committee of Chulipuram Victoria College Old Students Union (UK), I wish you success for your 30th Anniversary celebration.

Long Live Victoria College!
