INTEGRATED media house Zimpapers yesterday joined Shungu Dzevana Children’s Home in Mhondoro in a thanksgiving church ceremony held to recognise the home’s partners for their support.
Speaking during the event, guest of honour Mr Chamu Chiwanza, who is the aspiring National Assembly representative for Mhondoro-Mubaira constituency, said: “Donating to this institution will surely go a long way in supporting the children here.
“I encourage you, the children, to take this love you have received with both hands and move ahead in building a bright future for yourselves.”
He pledged to build a house for the children’s home and donated a tonne of cement.
Shungu Dzevana board chairperson Dr Oliver Chibage said: “We had reserved this day to have a thanksgiving ceremony to thank our partners in a way that pleases God.
“We have seen God’s hand through people and corporates that have come together to impact on our survival and develop our home to produce enough food for our children.
Shungu Dzevana founder and national executive director Sister Mercy Mutyambizi said she felt honoured.
“We are also inviting you to come and grace our fundraising dinner event to be held on October 27 at Cresta Lodge.”
Zimpapers public relations and communications manager (digital and publishing) Mrs Pauline Matanda represented the company.
The media house recently drilled a borehole at the children’s home and donated 10 bunk beds, mattresses and an assortment of kitchenware.
