Tigo; enabling children to access today’s world through education


Tigo (Pvt.) Limited, has stepped forward to take the initiative to provide opportunities for our children to ‘access today’s world through education’. Tigo has set the pace to take knowledge where it is needed most. With a vision of enabling our children to access knowledge, Tigo has selected some of the most deserving and deprived schools where they will set up a Tigo Knowledge Centre a well versed reading library. Most of the reading materials available are relevant to the student’s everyday academic lessons, thereby aiding them with the proper required knowledge to be well versed in theses respective areas.

With a mission aligned with Tigo’s ‘3 A strategy’, this CSR project is one which focuses on Availability (access to knowledge readily available), Affordability (targeting children from low income earning families) and Accessibility (bringing knowledge to where the needs are.) In the first of a nine phase project, Tigo initiated its inaugural Knowledge Centerin the Ihala Thalduwa Kanishta Vidyalaya in Awissawella. The Center was declared open by Mr. Riyaaz Rasheed Chief Financial Officer Tigo. “As a company that recognizes that knowledge is the foundation of tomorrow’s generation and future professionals, Tigo takes pride in providing such opportunities through the Knowledge Centre” said Mr. Rasheed. The opening was carried out with the presence of the principle, teachers, students as well as Tigo’s management team, staff, business partners and customers.

The school principle expressed his gratitude for the resources and the opportunity, saying that the students are talented and keen to learn. He embraced this gesture with open arms, thanking Tigo for enriching Sri Lanka’s future generations with the gift of knowledge.

GL SLAMS ‘COLONIAL’ RIGHTS GROUPS

Sri Lanka’s foreign minister Gamini Lakshman Peiris rejected “colonial” criticism Tuesday of a government-appointed civil war probe, after foreign rights groups snubbed an invitation to attend. New York-based Human Rights Watch, London-based Amnesty International and Brussels-based International Crisis Group last week accused the panel of a cover-up and refused an offer from Colombo to appear before it. Peiris said in a speech to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, a leading think-tank based in London, that the rights groups had displayed a “most unattractive attitude.” “It smacks of an attitude that is almost colonial, patronising and condescending, the assumption being that other people must step in because Sri Lankans are unable to chart a course for their own future,” he said. Peiris, who is in London for talks with the British government, said the LLRC was based on similar reconciliation commissions in countries such as South Africa. He urged rights groups and

IRRESPONSIBLE TALK BY MEMBERS COST UNP ITS VOTERS, SAYS SAJITH

The voters have distanced themselves from the United National Party (UNP) because several members had demeaned the military victories during the recently concluded war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, said Hambantota District parliamentarian Sajith Premadasa. Former President Ranasinghe Premadasa’s son, Sajith was addressing a meeting at Gurutalawa at the Yatinuwara electorate in Kandy last evening to raise awareness on his Jathika Jeewaya Programme. Mr. Premadasa launched this programme within three electorates in the Gampaha District last week as well. Adding further, Sajith Pramadasa said the UNP suffered erosion in its support as some had uttered irresponsible comments when the Sri Lankan armed forces were gaining victory after victory in the fight against the LTTE. When the Army captured Thoppigala, some in the UNP had said that Thoppigala was only a jungle, while some had accused the then government and the military of claiming to be advancing towards Kilinochc

TNA vows civil disobedience

Sri Lanka’s main Tamil party on Saturday vowed to launch a Gandhi-style civil disobedience campaign to press a long-standing demand for regional autonomy for their ethnic minority. The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) in its manifesto for April parliamentary elections renewed its demand for extensive regional autonomy – after Tamil Tiger rebels who fought in their name were crushed last year. “If the Sri Lankan state continues its present style of governance without due regard to the rights of the Tamil-speaking peoples, the TNA will launch a peaceful, non-violent campaign of civil disobedience on the Gandhian model,” the party said. The TNA was a puppet of the Tamil Tiger rebels who were crushed by security forces in May last year after 37 years of fighting. The United Nations has said up to 100,000 people were killed in the conflict. On Saturday the alliance said it would lobby neighbouring India and the international community to ensure the island’s Tamil community -- 12.5 percent
