Yesterday, the EALS Secretariat led by our CEO, Mr. David Sigano visited Matonyok Children's Home in Arusha as part of our ongoing Corporate Social Responsibility commitment. It was a privilege to spend time with the children, share a few smiles, and remind them they're not forgotten, a small gesture, but one that reflects our continued dedication to giving back to the communities we serve. Grateful for the chance to make a difference, however small.
