It reflects the important role Members of Parliament can play in transforming the lives of their constituents through practical interventions that directly impact children, families, and the future of the district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a time when many households face financial difficulties, Hon. Pyne\u2019s support helped ensure that pupils entered their examinations nourished, encouraged, and better prepared to concentrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Community members and parents praised the initiative, noting that hunger, lack of school materials, and transportation challenges often affect children\u2019s performance during national examinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Deputy Chair of Basic Education Committee in Parliament, Hon Umu Pyne is seen visiting schools in Moyamba District during the NPS Exams especially st the centre at Moyamba Junction with 500 pupils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking during the engagement, Hon.
