“We sincerely, thank those who answered to our call for the fundraising party on Good Friday that their support was appreciated as some are still coming with various items for the same course. We realize half of the target which will utilize it especially for the school needy children, partially renovating sanitary health facilities at our Area 25 Health Centre and an orphanage.
“With the high demand on the ground, the grouping will continue to mobilize resources in achieving the objective of trying to make Area 25, a better place to live. This is the reason we are still appealing for more material and financial support from business captains, politicians, government officials living in Area 25.
