“We are here to donate to the school after we have heard complaints and challenges about your lighting system. The school management wrote to PTA asking for assistance, and as you are all aware light is one of the most important things when night falls. And for that matter as parents, we did not hesitate and that is why we are here to present 20 pieces of streetlights to ensure the entire school is bright for you to go about your duties on campus.” the PTA Chairman noted.
