….says I feel happy to assist the less
Catholic Bishop of Yola Diocese and Adamawa State chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Bishop Dami Mamza has today shared N10,000 each to 200 People Living With Disability.
Mamza said the gesture is to enable them celebrate the Christmas in a happy and convivial atmosphere.
He said it has been his culture to extend the gesture to prison inmates during every Christmas and easter period noting that because of the incursion of the second wave of COVID-19, reaching out to the prison inmates is difficult.
Mamza said because of the challenge, he decided to forward such gesture to 200 PLWD in the state in order to make them have some sense of belonging during the festive period.
He noted that his intension initially was to provide food items to them but he changed his mind in consideration of the fact that some of them may be on special diet as such he commuted the gesture to cash.
Our correspondent observed that the beneficiaries include both members of Muslim and Christian community.
Mamza has established a reputation for assisting both members of Christian and Muslim community especially at the peak of the Boko Haram crisis when the Saint Theresa Catholic Church hosted hundreds of IDPs.
Appreciating the gesture on behalf of PLWD, Godiya Simon thanked the CAN chairman saying that his gesture will go a long way in bringing succor to them.
She prays God to bless him exponentially for his unprecedented spiritedness and love for the less privileged.
