“All you can do to appreciate your teachers and the director of the academy is to remember them in your prayers. Pray to God to help them to keep supporting you while the organisation and foundation also keep their commitment to your course.

The presentation highlighted Nelly’s ongoing philanthropic efforts to support underprivileged communities through targeted donations and outreach programmes.
