In
response to Phase Two’s call to the corporate sector
for Panorama activities for Carnival 2k 7 the HCL
Group has agreed to an exclusive sponsorship that
will cover the bands expenses and ensure that the
Panorama Champions are ready to defend their title
when the bands play in San Fernando.
The
HCL Group of Companies see this as an excellent way
to start off the company’s thirty anniversary year
and compliment its existing support of the Steelband
movement. HCL has for the past three years sponsored
in the medium band category the HCL Valley Harps
Steel Orchestra and also given financial assistance
to other bands in the North and East Zones. As a
corporate neighbor of Phase Two HCL is pleased to
form this alliance with Phase Two and support the
bands efforts.
HCL
recognizes the role of the Steelband movement in the
development and nurturing of community spirit and
entrepreneurship and see the association as an
extension of its own role as community developers.
The long term vision of HCL is to partner with
Steelbands in various communities to form mutually
beneficial relationships where programs can be
formulated that teach skills and educate members of
the community in a variety of disciplines that can
be used to find long term employment. The “panyard”
is in many parts of the country a true community
centre that can be used throughout the year in a
variety of ways in particular for education.
HCL
looks forward to a successful and safe Panorama and
Carnival season with its newest partner PHASE TWO
PAN GROOVE.
