A message from the community

Dear Sir/Madam,

On behalf of the entire Korao primary School, we appreciate the work of repairing the waterpump here at the school. The pump has reduced the work load on the pupils travelling for almost 2 km to collect water every day. We also kindly thank you for repairing the neck of the pump and testing the water.

We look forward to your tireless assistance.

Yours Faithfully
