Making even a small contribution to the new laboratory will make all the difference. Corporate sponsorships are especially welcomed. Although the laboratory is now fully operational (thanks to numerous corporate sponsors), there is still a need for more sophisticated microscopes and analysis equipment. A second phase expansion is envisaged for the laboratory in 2018 and even more equipment will be required.

Perhaps you are unable to contribute monetarily, but is it possible that you may have the ability to contribute some equipment? Research and education facilities upgrade their laboratory equipment from time to time - if you know of such equipment, tell us!
