A message from the community

Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Chiekwe Mbagwu the village water committee. We thank you so much for the sacrifice in staying in our village for close to one month to help us with water May God bless your efforts in the future. We promise to take care of the wells, so that they last very long. Please forgive us if your stay in our village was not very pleasant. We hope you will find time to visit us again in the future. Our village head and other leaders plan to visit you next month to show our appreciation for the four wells provided in different places including our primary school. Sincerely, Chiekwe Mbagwu Assemblies Of God Church Ariam village, Akwanu Local Government area. Abian State. Nigeria.
