Today marks a significant event for Catholic faithfuls at Buvussi community who witnessed the presentation of K100,000 to Buvussi Sub- Parish by Governor Muthuvel to improve its church building. Mr Muthuvel upon making the presentation urged all Catholic faithfuls of Buvussi to work closely with their church leaders to erect a new church building to change the current one build by missionaries some fifty years ago.
Mr Muthuvel also presented K100,000 to Buvussi primary school and another K100,000 to Buvussi Junior High school.
The commitment was made earlier to the schools because of overcrowding in classrooms, with the funds now available, both schools can build new classrooms to cater for more spacing for students.
Meanwhile,funds disbursed today came from the Provincial Services Improvement Program(PSIP) .
