“We did not have a table to do our school work. We had to sit on the floor and do our school work. We are very happy to receive the tables and we promise to study hard. We also needed a bigger cupboard for our clothes and a good mattress to sleep on. Now, my sister and I take turns to sleep on the new bed and our clothes are kept neatly in the cupboard.”
Our Friend In Need was very appreciative of assistance to declutter his home; proudly declaring that he can now invite his teacher over for tea!
