SLT employees contribute to a house for
war heroes
The employees of Sri
Lanka Telecom Head Quarters together with the members of the Telecom
Officers’ Union made a contribution towards building a house for one
soldier who has devoted his life to protect our motherland from the evil
grip of terrorism. Ms. Leisha De Silva Chandrasena, Chairperson, SLT
presented the cheque to Ms. Ioma Rajapakse, President, Seva Vanitha Unit
of the Ministry of Defence.The Ministry of Defence, under the project "Api
Wenuwen Api" has planned to build a total of 50,000 housing units for the
armed forces personnel, within the next five years. SLT is very pleased to
be a part of this project and is proud of the initiative taken by the
employees of SLT Head Quarters and the members of the Telecom Officers’
Union in this regard. These employees have voluntarily contributed a
portion of their salary towards this worthy cause.
This is an endeavour to show gratitude and appreciation to the brave
men and women who have dedicated their lives to serve our nation by
helping to rid the country of the last stronghold of the terrorists and
release the innocent civilians trapped in the North and East. This
humanitarian gesture deserves the highest accolades and all people should
rally behind the armed forces to boost morale and give the maximum help
possible.
