Chiradzulu, September 30, Mana: A local chapter of a religious grouping, Emmanuel TV Partners, on Saturday, took a walk from Blantyre to Chiradzulu District Hospital to donate assorted food items to patients to ease some of the challenges they face at the facility.

Among others the Emmanuel TV partners donated salt, sugar, soap and bags of maize flour.

The group’s chairperson, Fyness Njobvu told Malawi News Agency (Mana) that Emmanuel TV partners believe in; ‘Let love lead’ adding that their donations will positively change people’s lives.

“Prophet TB Joshua used to say let love lead just like the Bible says that you should love your neighbor as you love yourself. This is why we decided to show love to our neighbors who are sick at the hospital,” said Njobvu.

Secretary for the group, Leah Salima, said the group walked from Blantyre to Chiradzulu to raise MK5 million to help the needy elsewhere.

“I would like to encourage people that, helping is not about giving money only. Helping is also about sacrificing time and this is why we managed this long walk,” she said.

On his part, Chiradzulu District Hospital Nurse and Midwifery Technician, Charles Tembani, acknowledged the donation saying the food items will keep the patients going for some time.

“We are very thankful for this donation as it will fill the food gap here. We have a lot of patients that really lack this kind of support,” he said.

Emmanuel TV Partnership falls under Synagogue Church of all Nation under the leadership of Mama Evelyn Joshua, wife to the late Prophet TB Joshua in Nigeria.
