“There is no substitute for good sanitation”, the theme for this year’s 13th Anniversary reminds us. The employees of the Solid Waste Management Corporation (SWMC), together with their counterparts in Environmental/Public Health, Parks and Beaches and Sanitation, in general– through their steadfast, significant and symbolic stewardship– commit themselves on a daily and hourly basis to ensure that we avert experiencing what the ‘substitutes’ to “good sanitation” may be like. Hence, today, it is their performance, their productivity, their reliability, their resilience, that we celebrate, we appreciate and for which we offer thanks to Jehovah.

“Reaching Outwards” constitute the second leg of the triangle of philosophical signposts on which the SWMC is grounded: the first, being”Looking Inward” and the third being, “Projecting Forward”. In 2015, the thematic focus is “Reaching Outward”. The Apostolic Faith Mission Church’s (AFM) leadership and congregation demonstrate exemplary evidence of ” reaching outward” with this annual focus on its own form of community and public outreach. This annual event exemplifies how faith may be translated into action. It is as graphic as its generous and grand– and deservedly so–for the benefit of employees who can be truly described as ‘Kittivisian’ heroes and heroines.

We at the Solid Waste Management Corporation graciously acknowledge the efforts of the Apostolic Faith Mission Church congregation and its annual sponsors, providers and contributors. Believe me, the rank and file of SWMC appreciate your time, treasure and talent dedicated to us, and built to somewhat of a crescendo, at this time every for the past 13 years via this “worship in giving”, this wholesome communion, this reunion, even. We cherish the partnership that has been forged with the AFM church and the SWMC as a consequence.
Thank you for “reaching out! Thank you for your graphic example of faith in action! Thank you for your generosity of purpose and love! Thank you for your grandeur of spirit
