තවද, දිසා 01 ඝන අපද්‍රව්‍ය කළමනාකරණ අංශයේ නියෝජ්‍ය අධ්‍යක්‍ෂක ඉංජිනේරු ජගත් මහතා, ඝන අපද්‍රව්‍ය කළමනාකරණ ඉංජිනේරු පතිරණ මහතා, තාක්ෂණ නිලධාරිනී නසීමා මහත්මිය සහ ඇයගේ කණ්ඩායම, සහ කෙයාර් ක්ලීන් ආයතනයේ අධීක්ෂක නිපුණ මහතා ඇතුළු සියලු දෙනාගේ කැපවීම සහ දායකත්වය මෙම වැඩසටහනේ සාර්ථකත්වයට විශාල ශක්තියක් විය.

දරුවන් යනු අපේ රටේ අනාගතයයි. ඔවුන්ට අද නිවැරදි දැනුම සහ වටිනාකම් ලබා දීමෙන්, හෙට දින පිරිසිදු සහ හරිත පරිසරයක් ගොඩනැගිය හැකිය.
