Suhum (E/R), Mar. 3, GNA - The government of Japan has donated 63,900 dollars under its Japanese Government Human Security Project Scheme to the people of Traio, a farming community near Suhum, in the Eastern Region for the construction of a six-unit classroom block. The project would include a store, office, staff accommodation, a library and 12-seater KVIP.
