WOHRN, MARGIBI – In a significant display of commitment to the development of local youth, Senate Protemp Nyonblee Karngar-Lawrence has taken decisive action by presenting a financial donation of L$500,000 to the Grassroots Initiative for Development and Democratic Advancement (GIDDA).

During her announcement, Senator Lawrence emphasized the importance of investing in education and opportunities for the youth of District #5.
To further this mission, she pledged an additional US$10,000 in scholarships specifically designated for students in the district. This initiative aims to alleviate some of the financial burdens faced by students and encourage academic excellence.
