“Last year we constructed a fully equipped ultra-modern place of convenience for students on campus. We saw how committed the staff of the school were to caring for the students and we pledged to return to contribute once again to the success of the school. Today we are here to provide these food items to the school. These items will assist in providing the students with the nourishment they need. We believe that this will lessen the financial burden on the school and help the students thrive and focus on their studies. We remain committed to supporting this institution as it continues to care for these brilliant children. We commend the entire staff and management of the school for their hard work and dedication to these children.”
