Thanks for the post. I was just browsing the internet looking for some information regarding some school scholarships programs and information about it.
ReplyDeleteThe donating lady is pleasant but the principal in the picture looks disgusted. Please post better pictures. Always ask yourself if the picture is reinforcing the message you are trying to pass across. Thanks
