You got to pay for the food, you Saniaga Org. They will come more than that, we hope. So it be the kitchen is capacitated to do more service for the more that will come. A hundred could come but our minimum is 50. So then we got to start contributing towards it. Yes. All, sure of attending to send ksh 1000 to Metrine.
