Tools worth Rs. 2 m for Galle masons A project was launched recently at the Galle Holcim UKG 'Mahagedara' to distribute tools worth Rs. two million among tsunami affected masons in the district. A tool kit to the value of Rs. 15,000 was given away to each mason by Holcim Lanka Ltd. as a part of the Rs. 150 million 'Holcim Rebuilding Fund' project. At the ceremony attended by 175 masons, the highlight was the lecture delivered by Dr. Chandana Gunawardene on 'Positive Thinking'. The main objective of the workshop was to promote unity and empower the masons to start rebuilding their lives which is also the communication theme of Holcim, Building Life. B. A. Samathapala de Silva, a mason with 45 years' experience said that "We lost all our property due to tsunami. Our tools were washed away. The gravest was the mental agony that we suffered during the last three months. The material and mental support extended by Holcim is highly appreciated at this needy hour". |
