According to the Head of Department, Dr Chikumbusko Kaonga, this is an on-going program where the alumni created an account where they make contributions towards the upgrading of the PBS laboratories.

“I would like to thank the alumni for the kind gesture they have shown by donating these items which will assist in improving high learning to our students,” said Dr Kaonga.

Apart from this, the alumni network discusses other industrial, academic and business ideas in order to promote each other and to contribute to the development of the nation. 

Speaking on behalf of the Alumni, the Coordinator Associate Professor Ishmael Kosamu encouraged the other alumni who are not yet part of the group to join so that they should be able to contribute and make an impact to the students and the society.
