Huge thanks goes to members of Rumbek based Kenyan Commercial Bank for their kind and humble assistance to students of Rumbek Primary schools.Offering educational equipments in form of books, pencils etc, rather than giving them fund is indded equal to proverb that says “teach people how to produce instead of offering them ready products”. May God make Kenyan Commercial Bank prosper more and profitable to continue render its philanthrophical output to people in needs like the students of Rumbek Schools.
