Latin term or phrase: Scientes Servimus
Formal letter
Oliver Mawarire
English translation:We who know serve
Explanation:
I am certain that this is the basic meaning of the phrase (I suspect it's a motto). Without more details on the context (who the "we" is, and the group or community they serve, for example), I can't assert that this is the best translation.
