The orphanages which care for children who are between the ages of six months to 25 years old were grateful for the donation and said they will work hard in their education so that they can also go to college and learn various skills.
Mr Paul Mtenje, Social worker for Circle of Hope Grace Alliance said as an institution and organization, they are thankful for the donation and do not take it lightly.
