Ntcheu, February 8, Mana: Malawi Adventist University (MAU) students from the Lakeview campus in Ntcheu have asked well-wishers to assist them with financial support to purchase wheelchairs for a 15-year-old physically challenged girl, Mphatso Wilson and his father who are failing to walk due to cancer.

The students made the call when they donated some items to Mphatso's family at Kabwazi village in the area of Traditional Authority Njolomole in the district.

According to the student's Patron, Eluby Masauko, a Lecturer in the Department of Education at the University, after seeing Mphatso's condition, thought of contributing and sharing what they have with the family.

"As students, we believe in love and sharing little things that we have with others who are in need, hence we decided to contribute some items to share with Mphatso and her father", said Masauko.

William Thom, Chairperson of the Student'' asked well-wishers to come in with long-term support.

"We are asking those who can help with financial support to come in and assist us to purchase wheelchairs for Mphatso and his father so that they can be able to socialize,” he said.

Meanwhile, Alinafe Wilson, a mother to Mphatso commended the students for the support saying the help will address some problems she faces in taking care of her family.

Mphatso who was born with the problem is failing to access education and other social services due to mobility challenges.

Through their Reach Out and Touch club, the students donated sugar, Soap and clothes, among other items.
