ALMA received the following message from Bishop Dinis about the launch:

Physically and Spiritually Healthy Children was an expression sung, spoken and used in prayer at the little village of Chihunzuine, as the Archbishop of Cape Town and Primate of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa launched the full programme of this initiative which has been partially active for 1 year. About 700 people attended the event which consisted of:

Just under 70 children have registered so far and the enthusiasm was evident, as they felt as the centre of the community and the whole area will benefit from the water. Some people had to walk for 30 minutes or even 1 hour to draw water and carry it in 20 liters containers.

ALMA was thanked for coming alongside Chihunzuine community and providing education and water - in one word “health”- as children grow up with this support.

May God continue to bless those by whose generosity and insights we can now breath happily.

Together in the Gospel.

The Right Reverend Dinis Salomão Sengulane
Bishop of Lebombo
