Dear Sir/Madame We the entire Turi Secondary School and community, hereby appreciate very sincerely the effort you made to repair the school water well. We also noted that you responded to our distress call and almost immediately came to our rescue. This well has served us exceedingly well and we can't imagine being without it. With a student capacity of over 400 students, we are highly grateful as we have a reliable constant supply of clean safe drinking water throughout. God bless you so much Yours Faithfully Doris J Wairmu Principle.
