    Ivan

    Dear Ivan [Khin Maung Oo, M 69],

    I received US$ 5000 donated by you per kind favour of Sayar Dr. Aung Gyi this morning (December 24, 2012).

    Sayar suggested that we should use that money for buying good- quality computers to be placed in the Internet room of Yangon Technological University( formerly RIT/YIT).

    The team from YTU will procure the computers for US$5000 . The official receits will be given to Dr. Aung Gyi.

    Thanks for your donation. We are trying to rebuild our mother University so as to become a prestigious Instiution in not-so-distant future and we all have to work together to achieve that objective.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
