Nkhotakota, December 11, Mana: A social networking and charitable movement called "Roundtable Dwangwa 69" has expressed commitment to address challenges learners with disabilities are facing at Nkhotakota Resource Centre.

Speaking on Sunday during Pre-Christmas celebration and donation to learners at the centre, Chairperson for Dwangwa 69, Dyson Mpeketula said their movement will continue to assist the centre with different support such as linking them up with local and international sponsors to fulfil their dreams.

"We are here having a meal together with them but we are looking for transformation of projects that will change their lives forever," said Mpekutula.

In his remarks, Head teacher for Nkhotakota LEA primary school Ability Chioza Mashikizo described the celebration as timely adding that the donation will go a long way in addressing some of the challenges like basic needs for the learners.

One of the learners with disabilities, Andrea Chabwera asked well-wishers and other organisations to assist them with learning materials and other daily needs.

The Roundtable Dwangwa 69 pumped in K500, 000 for Pre-Christmas celebration with learners with disabilities and donated assorted food items at the centre.

During the event, it was discovered that the school lacks better infrastructure including hostels which leave  learners with no choice but to put up in dilapidated rooms for lack of better options
