Ports authority donates engineering machines to prison |30 December 2013

The Seychelles Ports Authority (SPA) has donated four engineering machines to the Seychelles Prison Services.

The equipment was donated by SPA’s chief executive officer, Lieutenant Colonel André Ciseau to the Seychelles Prison Services chief inspector Daniel Dogley in a short ceremony at the authority’s headquarters at the New Port in the presence of other staff members of the SPA.

The donation is in line with SPA’s social corporate responsibility aimed at enabling the inmates to be equipped with new skills and competencies.

It comprises two lathe machines (small and large), one shaper machine and one mining machine.

In a short speech to mark the occasion, Lt. Col. Ciseau said this gesture forms part of the authority’s social corporate responsibility and he hopes that the equipment will be put to good use by the inmates for their own personal and professional development.

For his part chief inspector Dogley thanked the SPA for the donation which he said the Prison Services is in great need of.

“There are youths in prison who need to develop their skills as the prison has embarked on rehabilitation programmes for the inmates. So we welcome all help and support from everyone who is willing to help us attain our objectives. I also call on other organisations who have other types of machineries lying around but are still in good condition, to hand them over to the Prison Services as they will be put to good use in our rehabilitation programmes for the inmates,” said Mr Dogley.

The SPA has been involved in other social corporate responsibility donations before.
