The assorted items that were donated included maize flour, cooking oil, soap, sugar, hard covers, pencils, pens, soya pieces, and uniforms.

Speaking when she received the items, Tiwonge Chimamba, Director of the schools, thanked the visitors for the gifts.

"These gifts will go a long way to alleviate the problems the school is facing. We have a lot of challenges and would like to urge well wishers to come forth and assist us like the children from Area 47 church have done," she said.

Ms. Kumbutso Takomana, Director of Children Ministries at Area 47 Church, shared words of hope to the hosts and thanked God that they were able to share what they could.
