supports them to successfully deploy unique projects such as this to
contribute to the community and help disseminate positive ideas in
society.

creativity, and project management and team building skills among the
members of the staff as well.
"Although it was a difficult task, especially to concentrate on a
project in the midst of everything including my office work and personal
life as well, I feel that it was a satisfying and productive experience
for me especially when I remember that through this, I have shared my
life experiences with society. "
"I thank the SLT management for creating and encouraging an enabling
environment for people like me," Kamburupitiya said. |
