We cannot expect that government alone carry the full weight of the education responsibilities of our nation. You must study hard using these study aids and make us proud with your results,” David Sheehama David from Kambwa Trading said.“A big thank you goes out to Herman Nekomba from Build It Omuthiya for making this donation possible. Without assistance, it is really tough to cover all the needs and expenses to ensure the pupils gets the best support and training possible,” said Onakaale principal Kondjeni Nekomba said.
