Su­per In­dus­tri­al Ser­vices Lim­it­ed was one of sev­er­al con­trac­tors who par­tic­i­pat­ed in the "Clean up and Beau­ti­fy T&T" ex­er­cise last Sun­day.

The com­pa­ny placed a lot of em­pha­sis in clean­ing up play­ing fields and from as ear­ly as 7 am, SIS mo­bilised a fleet of trucks and back­hoes as they de­ployed in­to ar­eas in Cou­va and en­vi­rons in­clud­ing Bal­main, Es­per­an­za, Phoenix Park and Mil­ton Car­oli­na in a com­bined ef­fort with the con­stituen­cy of Cou­va and Cou­va South MP Rudranath In­dars­ingh.

Se­nior pub­lic re­la­tions of­fi­cer at SIS, Jim­my Ho­sein, in ad­dress­ing the vol­un­teers on Sun­day ex­plained that the ex­er­cise was SIS's re­sponse to the call by Prime Min­is­ter Per­sad-Bisses­sar to clean and beau­ti­fy T&T, an ini­tia­tive that he hopes would be an on­go­ing process.

"As a cor­po­rate cit­i­zen, SIS has a du­ty not on­ly to per­form but al­so to serve our com­mu­ni­ty, which we have been do­ing and will con­tin­ue to do so," Ho­sein said. "But this must be a joint ef­fort by the cit­i­zens and gov­ern­ment of Trinidad and To­ba­go."

Prime Min­is­ter Per­sad-Bisses­sar and the Ho­n­ourable Min­ster of Works and Trans­port Jack Austin Warn­er al­so made an ap­pear­ance at the day's pro­ceed­ings ad­dress­ing the vol­un­teers and even took part in the beau­ti­fi­ca­tion dri­ve at Isaac Set­tle­ment by plant­i­ng a tree.

SIS took a keen in­ter­est in the up­lift­ment of sport­ing fa­cil­i­ties be­cause they have been as­sist­ing the na­tion­al com­mu­ni­ty through sports. Ear­li­er this year, they host­ed a crick­et tour­na­ment for com­pa­nies in the In­dus­tri­al Es­tate and this will be fol­lowed by a foot­ball se­ries to be launched soon.

They have al­so been ac­tive in as­sist­ing many lo­cal sport­ing clubs, as was seen by their spon­sor­ship of the Cen­tral Sports crick­et team and their as­so­ci­a­tion with the Daren Gan­ga Foun­da­tion.
