We would like to thank all the organizations / companies which have bought KTS products during 2009. This has helped a lot to promote our income-generating programme and enabled us to continue our social Activities, including extra-curricular activities for the KTS school children. It has also supported the KTS on-going development plan; for example, the installation of a new library and computer room in the KTS Primary School.
