Drummond Ltd. is working with the Mayor of Agustin Codazzi to strengthen the educational and healthcare sectors through new construction and renovations in benefit of the communities in its area of influence.
The mining company, through its Community Relations Coordinator in Cesar, Yilda Tatiana Pineda, accompanied by the Mayor of Agustin Codazzi, Omar Benjumea, met with the inhabitants of the Casacara and Llerasca districts to share information about the projects.
Project to refurbish the Llerasca health post
In Casacara, Drummond and the Mayor described the project to build three new classrooms that will benefit more than 600 students at the Luis Giraldo School.
“We gave priority to this work because the well-being of children is important for Drummond. But it would not have been possible without the work by the Mayor of Codazzi, because his office approached us with the idea of contributing to education in Casacara by building these three new classrooms,” said Yilda Tatiana Pineda.
This is the second project with this school. In the first project, three classrooms were built, so this new project will complete delivery of a total of six classrooms.
Leonor Mendoza, the mother of one of the students at the school, expressed her gratitude for the work: “These three classrooms will be ideal for the students, because it will be a new space that will be better for our children.”
