We are aware of the renewed challenge we face and the hard and continuous work to follow up on the successes. The biggest challenge we faced was to succeed and continue in it as a school bearing the name of the largest educational center established by the British in my city, Al-Duwaim. So, for the Sudanese Bakht Al-Rida School to come to them in the educational city of Manchester was the first and continuing challenge in my heart until now.
