Recounting how the district’s donation came about, the club president said when the District Governor officially visited the club and commissioned a project few months ago, he was impressed with the club commitment to the school so he demanded a list of the things the school needs so he can support the club’s donation to the school. “Today, he has provided the requirements”, the club president said.
The Principal of the senior school, Mrs. Babatunde in her remark noted that the lack of those newly donated items in the school home economics lab has been long overdue. “We have been looking for sponsors to make our dream come through. We pledge that they will be properly utilized”, she said while thanking the club for the partnership.
