The headline shows what it is. We will publish here photos of overseas visitors taken with the ASLGSC head quarters in its background.

We will take all efforts to take with us a camera on Saturday’s visits to head quarters, but please have your camera also with you when you visit ASLGSC HQ in your next visit to Sri Lanka.

In the month of April we had the opportunity to meet Sarath & Manel Wijesoma and Ruban at ASLGSC HQ. Sarath and Manel had decided to Celebrate New Year in Sri Lanka each coming half way from the destinations, they were taken to by their work, Manel from Sydney and Sarath from Qatar. Ruban was here from Bangladesh where he was working for the past 9 months. Now they have gone back to their respective destinations and we wish them all the success.

Opportunities still exist for us to contribute as the donations pledged so far are not sufficient to complete the project on time.

Just imagine the cozy environment the ASLGSC premises provide us to freely meet and socialize on a regular basis with colleagues with whom we spent the best years of our youth studying in the former socialist countries. Why not we all get together and expand these premises to incorporate more facilities to enjoy our times with our friends and families better? We can be very proud that we are one of the very few associations of its kind to have such a facility of its own to meet and socialize. We need to protect it and improve it. Don’t we?

The total estimated cost of this ambitious project is Rs. 1,200,000 and the floor area to be added through the project is approximately 800 sq. ft. Accordingly, the cost per square foot is Rs. 1,500. ASLGSC welcomes member contributions of any magnitude. A couple of square feet, a few square feet or more…. The Association also plans to list the names of all contributors who make donations sufficient to build ten (10) or more square feet (equivalent of Rs. 15,000 or more), in a special plaque to be displayed permanently in the expanded building.

It is our turn now, ladies and gentlemen, to contribute in whatever way we could and be proud partners of this worthy cause.

Please see the image for a 3-D view of the proposed expansion, which is very pleasing to watch.
