“With the cooperation and determination of the members of staff, we have been able to make the camp habitable for corps members."

“I am grateful for the wonderful way the Batch A Stream One corps members in the camp have behaved; I am proud of them."

“I also wish the D-G can visit us again on Saturday, to show us his dancing skills, as the camp management will be bringing a famous hip-hop artist, Q-Dot to entertain the corps members,’’ he said.
