Wondering why she decided to build a playground for the children? She disclosed that, “ I was here two years ago and when I was leaving, I realized that the playground was in a deplorable state. The metals were all rusted. So I told myself that, I won’t stop till I’m able to provide a good recreational centre for the students of this school so that at the end of the day, they can also pride themselves of having a beautiful playground. That was the most important thing for me. And I want to thank everyone who supported this project.”
