Storm Damage at the Maoni Orphanage
A few days ago, we had an email from Bishop Dimba at Maoni Orphanage regarding damage that occured as a result of severe weather conditions:
I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
This is un urgent appeal letter to you as, as on Sunday evening we had a terrible accidents as all our two buildings at the Orphanage were blown-up due to heavily wind, rain and the storm which hit at Lunzu area and many hundreds houses of the native were ruined also.
I spent the whole day at Maoni Orphanage trying to asses the damage and find the quotations for roofing materials and bricks to urgently repair. God saved the lives of the staffs and the people at the school as no one was hurt.
