He said, this will help the children with their mindset and help the community as well. It will also help the children realise their potentials.
Lae has been in the spotlight for serious crimes, and that includes rapes and murders in the last 12 months.
The Company will put the three former Bugandi students to work in its Escort Unit.
One will continue, while the 2 others are selected to Higher Learning Institutions.
Not all students finishing from Secondary Schools make it into Higher Learning Institutions.
