Mwanza, April 6, Mana:  Mwanza Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) women on Saturday donated assorted food and nonfood items to patients at Mwanza District Hospital as a symbol of love.

In an interview, one of CCAP women Tuweni Gonambali said the donation was meant to share love with those who are in difficult situations such as those in hospital.

“As we are celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, there is need to show love to one another because Jesus Christ himself used to share messages of love and peace among people,” said Gonambali.

Church Minister for Mwanza CCAP congregation, Rev. Wilson Kazembe, commended the women for promoting the spirit of sharing with others saying this is what God commands.

“The Holy Bible assures us that a hand that gives is blessed. Therefore, it is my hope that God will not leave these women the same way,” said Kazembe.

In an interview with guardians’ representative in the male ward, Alefa Batford from Mulongolora Village in the area of Inkosi Kanduku Maseko in the district, said the items received will go a long way to assisting the patients as some do not have relatives who can provide their daily needs because they come from far areas.

Mwanza District Hospital Nurse Midwife Technician, Clifford Mkagula, commended the women saying, apart from the donation, patients also needed to hear the Word of God as a way of encouragement.

The donation which included soya pieces, soap and salt is worth about K200, 000 and was mobilized among the women themselves and other well withers.

The women also donated assorted items to Mwanza Prison to replicate love of Jesus to the inmates.
