The tsunami was probably the most devastating disaster that Sri Lanka ever had to face. It has not been easy for the people of this land to pick up the fragmented physical and social fabric that lay exposed and vulnerable, once the waves had dissipated. With a number of resorts on the coast, Aitken Spence had to contend with the disaster at first hand. Traumatic though it was, in true Sri Lankan spirit, the Group mustered all resources to ensure that immediate relief and assistance were speedily implemented.
All employees and their families who were affected were placed on solid ground and the needs of the devastated communities adjacent to the resorts were taken care of.
Unprecedented disaster produced unprecedented goodwill and the Spence Evoluzione Charitable Trust was formed to channel all the donations for relief efforts.
Drawing on our strategic alliances both locally and globally, we are extremely happy that our partner TUI became the largest donor through the Spence Evoluzione Charitable Trust, towards the housing projects earmarked by the Group. |
