During the day when they the pump installed, the director of the Center had the following words ‘’On behalf of the center, we all see, this is a really Miracle to us of having water pump in our center. For three weeks now, our center has missing water services even from our neighbors due to the fact that piped water in our Council is distributed on time table basis and sometimes they even not follow the time table. But let’s just say thank you for the valuable support ‘’.The water now is serving several purpose at the Center including trees around the building also the same water now is used to construct new class rooms at the center.
