As part of its commitment to continue contributing to the social and educational development of its areas of influence, Drummond Ltd. delivered a major construction, endowment and improvement project at the Boquer\u00f3n Educational Institution, municipality of La Jagua Ibirico, Cesar.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe delivered the improvement, expansion and remodeling of the educational institution for the community of Boquer\u00f3n. The work comprised building new classrooms, sanitary batteries, a library, and remodeling all facilities for the enjoyment and comfort of students. We hope that this, in addition to the resources we provide, gives all the capacities so that the children and young people of the region can study and improve their quality of life,\u201d said Juan Pablo Arteaga, vice president of sustainability at Drummond Ltd.<\/p>\n\n

The project, in compliance with sheet IS 1-1 of Boquer\u00f3n\u2019s socioeconomic management plan, included the construction of six school classrooms, a sanitary battery and a school library. In addition, general improvement of the infrastructure (sports court, administrative and preschool areas, school cafeteria, physics, chemistry and biology laboratories, as well as the auditorium). The walls were painted and repaired as well. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\u201cWe very much welcome it. It is work that will have a great impact on education, especially of that student population of our Boquer\u00f3n district. Today we want to thank Drummond for taking on this role with great responsibility,within the framework of the PMS, as well as complementing the work carried out at the Life Center. We are very grateful to Drummond and I hope it retains this great sense of responsibility to mining and to the people around it,\u201d said Bernardo Ospino, leader of the Boquer\u00f3n Community Action Board.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\u201cWe are very pleased and happy for this majestic work. What joy for the children, for this student population, for the parents, but especially for the township. A project that dignifies them, that will definitely generate a better student environment.
