KCWA Members' Proud Moments 2010

 

KCWA Members' Proud Moments 2011:

 

KCWA feels proud to portrait before you its member’s children’s excellence in the field of education, particularly the recently announced class X & XII results. Some of the members’ children have prominently passed out from these examinations with flying colors thereby making their parents proud. This is a great moment for KCWA, which aims at providing Primary education to the unprivileged back in India.

KCWA takes this opportunity to wish these brilliant students a bright and fruitful future and also congratulates their parents for their dedication and hard work
