Laptops Donated by Denplan
 
 
Denplan has recently donated two laptops to the Twinning Project. These laptops will be used by the Project to help bring internet provision to our Twinned Schools in Uganda,
Stuart Mcintosh who works for Denplan is also a Volunteer Ranger with the Queen Elizabeth Country Park Volunteer Ranger Service said that once he explained to Denplan about the Twinning Project and how they intended to use the laptops they were only too pleased to help out.
The Project is very grateful to Stuart and his colleagues for their help and support.
