“Few months ago, the CDS group came to check on the IDPs and we found out those children at the camp lacked educational materials and also teachers in their school.
“So we thought it wise to contribute our little quota to them as part of our community service. We therefore, want other groups to help in any way they can.
“We also want to call on Nigerians to help them as they are in need of volunteer teachers,” he said.While receiving the items, the camp secretary, Mr Luka Yathuma, appreciated the corps members for their assistance and called on wealthy individuals to come to assist them to do more.
