After a factory visit to Madampe Sembukattiya, we invited our employees and guests to a jubilee celebration. Traditionally, the celebration opened with a Buddhist oil lamp ceremony, with coconut candles lit by selected guests. After the greetings and speeches by Thomas Roess (Managing Director) and Jörn Rohde (Ambassador), several employees were honored for their many years of cooperation.

Then there was a cultural program performed by Kandy dancers. After the buffet, with many partly spicy Sri Lankan delicacies, was properly celebrated and danced.
