Community education manager
“Thank you for supporting my community's education initiatives that will educate people every day and give them the ability to cope with their challenges and find solutions to their needs.
The project is so important because it will generate social impact, help the school community, bring changes in academic training, more willingness and desire to attend classes, joy and finally progress in everone's minds.
For the children, it will be something new and full of hope. "
