Ampara Construction Fair next week
MERCY CORPS in association with the National Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka (NCCSL) and TAFREN are to hold the "Ampara Construction Fair 2005" on August 27-28 at the Technical College, Samanthurai.

The exhibition managed by NCCSL Conventions, brings together under one roof, suppliers from the area, engaged in production of building material and providing construction related services, as well as those seeking to source such material and skills primarily from the local area.

The event seeks to link up all those parties operating in the Construction Sector including transporters, designers, banks and other financial institutions, whilst providing opportunities for the local inhabitants to locate employment opportunities.

NCCSL said the objective of this event is to facilitate small businesses affected by the tsunami to get back into business and regain their livelihoods as well as expediting the reconstruction effort. Contacts the exhibitors make at the Construction Fair will help them to identify construction related opportunities. Participants and visitors will have the benefits of identifying suppliers of construction materials and equipment within the region.

Unemployed or under-employed, skilled and unskilled workers will have access to international and local Organizations and NGOs engaged in construction, for future employment.

Furthermore, suppliers of construction material could increase the standard of their product whilst Contractors could learn new technologies for their construction work.
