Thank you Princess Kyla and my Sister Grace Nugi for donating 70 sets of school uniforms to our Professor Vojtech Novotny Academy Early Childhood Kids.

Your kind heart has put smiles on our little faces. Now our kids can go to school with pride, clean and smart, ready to learn about their environment and culture.

In return of favour, our kids at Professor Novotny Academy presented a cartoon of Library books and a bilum as gift to Kyla.

Education is conservation. When we invest in our kids, we invest in Mauberema’s future.

God bless you both abundantly.
