A message from the community
Dear Sir: On behalf of the leaders and people of Mara Sani, we hereby wish to show our deepest appreciation for the wonderful effort and gift of two wells [2] to our village this month. Ever since we made this request, our hopes have been that you will find the means and time to come. We are grateful to all who were here for almost a week to see to the completion of these wells. As promised, we will take very good care of these wells through a committee we have just set up. You will be kept informed on this. Our deepest regards and thanks to all who have made this project a blessing to our people. Sincerely, Mr. Baba Mande Mara Sani Community Forum.
