“We thank the almighty God for his wonderful grace and blessings for putting in his people’s hands the means in their hearts the desire to support the development of this camporee venue.
“For the achievement of the camporee venue as it is now would have been possible without the support and involvement of so many kind hearted people in the church, outside the church in the government leadership in parliament, in the private sector, in State owned enterprises and local business houses.
“Our gratitude goes to you all,’’ said Pr. Tovosia.
