Headmistress at the center, Eluphy Chapendeka hailed the Germans for the gestures will asking fellow Malawians to be in the forefront helping the underprivileged learners.

"Let us join hands and help the underprivileged child to attain quality education just like another so that we arrest issues of poverty around their communities," narrated Chapendeka.
