                    Last year Mr Pat Draper of Rotary Foundation brought in a TV screen and spoke to us
                       about alternative ways of teaching using technology. Thank you sincerely for your
                      generous donation of 17 Television Screens to the MMEP and schools we work with.
                         This technological advancement will enable us to teach more effectively in the
                           classroom, as well as enable us to show learners educational videos and
                    demonstrations. These screens are really valuable assets for our work. We appreciate
                                     your kind support and generosity Rotary. Thank you.
