Expressing his views Photo Technica Managing Director Harsha Malwenna said, “We have been commemorating our anniversary over the years by embarking on a social service initiative to extend a helping hand to the less privileged in society. Accordingly, this year, we selected the School for the Deaf and Blind at Ratmalana. The Vocational Training Division of this School conducts vocational training classes for its students with the objective of preparing them for self-employment so that their sustenance in society can be ensured. In order to conduct vocational training on a more wider and effective manner, the School was in dire need of new sewing machines. It was to meet this requirement that we donated these sewing machines.”
