UIU -USA on a historic visit to Community Secondary School Umuoji

As part of the program for Umuoji 2008 Mass return and Ofala Festival, members of UIU-USA visited Community Secondary School Umuoji to inspect ongoing projects of UIU-USA in the school and identify future needs.

UIU-USA members were pleasantly greeted by a waiting crowd, consisting of students, Teachers, Parent Teachers Association members, and Umuojians from different villages. Little did we know that a formal and elaborate reception was planned in appreciation for the contributions of UIU-USA towards the renovation, reconstruction and re-accreditation of the school.

The Principal, in her address, expressed deep appreciation for our selfless contributions and made a passionate plea for continued support. She promised to do her very best to bring the school to the highest standard. The students entertained the visitors with a welcome song, music and dances. Many thanks to the Principal, Mrs. Nezieanya, PTA Chairman Mr Mekowulu, PTA Board members, Teachers, students of CSSU and Umuojiians in general.
