All of this would not have been possible if not for the tireless efforts of the Postman team, particularly Mr. Ali Mustuf Shaikh and Miss Aanchal Mishra, the Postman Student Community Sri Lanka (Suvin Nimnaka, Kaveesha Gimhana, Nisal Renuja Palliyaguru, Maleesha Gunarathna), and everyone who took part in the event and provided support in a variety of ways.
