Bishop Nyirenda also appreciated the dedication of the Christians in the diocese, who contributed generously towards the fundraising.

Mzuzu diocese events committee chairperson Elija Wanda said it is tough these days for the diocese to find donors to support transportation means for the diocese, that is why they decided to help out with the vehicles.
