MZIZIMA CLUB PROVIDES FOOD AT DAR OCEAN ROAD HOSPITAL ON 25TH MARCH

Lions Club of Dar es Salaam Mzizima carried out an activity at  Ocean Road Hospital on Sunday, 25th March 2012. Several Lion members of the club carried out food distribution to about hundred patients suffering from cancer and aids. They were provided with warm food prepared and served by the Lions and Lion hearted volunteers.

The patients were very grateful as most of them come from a distance and hardly had any relatives to cater for their daily needs. The seriousness of their plight has caught the attention of the members and it was wonderful to note that several members had come forward to donate for the worthy cause.

A patient from Iringa suffering from advanced cancer, who was told to return home had no fare and expenses to at least spend his final days with his family, was assisted to travel back home by Mzizima Lions.

The activity cost TShs450,000.00 

At a second activity, a patient namely Mr Kuba suffering from severe eye impairment was sponsored by Mzizima Club to be operated at the CCBRT. It was satisfying to note that the surgery was successful.

The cost of the surgery was TShs 250,000.
