Greetings from sunny and hot Arua city. Words can’t express my gratitude for the help KTCT has given me.

The response to my request was prompt and this has made it possible at last to put a facelift to a 25-year-old classroom block. This will put a smile on the faces of the children of the lower classes who use the classrooms. KTCT continues with your work of stimulating the learning environment. We sincerely acknowledge the kindness and love shown by your supporters which inspires…
