Playtech Provides More Than Online Casino Software in Sri Lanka

The giant online casino software manufacturer, Playtech, announced they will be sponsoring another humanitarian relief effort along with several of their online casino licensees in Sri Lanka. This particular humanitarian envoy is being chiefly assembled by the worldwide disaster relief organization Knightsbridge International, who has helped regions like Chechnya and Rwanda, and has recently been repeatedly transporting food and medical supplies into the region that was devastated by the tsunami in late December.

The current mission will entail sending over $1.8 million in medical supplies to help some 10,000 victims for a years time. The supplies will be going directly through Knightsbridge, rather than the Sri Lankan government, who has been suspected of embezzling much of the relief effort funds from other countries.

According to a Playtech Online Casino Software spokesperson, choosing to team up with Knightsbridge International was the obvious and smart choice, since no other relief organization has gone into such dangerous and devastated areas as the UK based company. Playtech is very confident that Knightsbridge will get the medical supplies to those in need, and nowhere else. Considering there are over 150,000 people greatly affected in Sri Lanka, this mission as well as future ones are in great need. The supplies will be flown from abroad into the region and dispersed to local supply centers being supported by volunteers.
