Greetings to all my supporters. I want to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you to all the members who funded my project. I am actually filled with joy at your overwhelming contributions towards the renovation of our school buildings. In the last project we renovated 2 classrooms. I am going to renovate 2 more classrooms. This involves cementing the floor and installing steel doors and windows. Our pupils will learn in a more clean and safer environment. Once more to our supporters, thank you so much for being part of our success. Be blessed so much

Hello family, despite the ups n downs of our economy, am happy to let you know that the small kiosk that I had started for my Mother, it has picked up well in our Village. She normally pays her bills through the small shop. Back at my car wash machine things were not that good since 2019 when we had Corona, I had to reduce the number of youths I had to one. But am happy it has now started picking up. Thus I have to appreciate you family for enabling me to be where I am. Besides all that, I went back to school where I upgraded to A degree in Education. I am married too with a blessed daughter. If it couldn't be you family I even don't know where I could be. Thank you so much for your support. Am happy to be back once again.
