Lowara helps a school in Burundi

03/08/2001

On May 8th, 2001, we had the pleasure of
welcoming in Lowara a delegation from the 'Burundi Project' which, under the patronage of the Former Pupils Association of the 'A.Rossi' Technical Industrial Institute of Vicenza is working to build a professional training school in Burundi.
Lowara contributed towards this ambitious project by donating two machine tools which will be used in the school workshops.
During the visit, the delegation leaders assured us they would shortly send us photos of the structure, once it had been finished and fully operational.
We look forward to the successful completion of this project as this initiative will certainly be of great help to young students in this country.
