Its good to play a new ball (Mphatso presenting a ball)
By Aubrey Bunguzu
Today Wednesday 7th December 2011, over a hundred people at Mlodza Secondary School were reached through various forms of activities including Drama, Football Match comptetition and Bible Correspondence Course. Activitites started at 1 oclock afternoon with joint programming with School Authorities. Then students played football game competing for a brand new ball that LHM brought to donate to school thereafter. It was interesting to see young boys in school uniforms with hungry stomachs sweating on scorthy sun for a ball possession. Teams played were Day School and Night School teams and the game ended in favor of Day School team who won with one goal to nil.
As it was planned after the match, the whole school gathered under the local tree behind school block. Luther village Drama group that performs for LHM acted a play titled “The wages of Sin is death” a faith based play warning young people to refarin from sexual relationships because this behaviour brings alot of negative impacts on many youth, including deaths. Then Mlodza School Drama came up with their play titled Education is a right to everyone”. Both plays took the audience on board as they were waiting for the LHM to present a ball to a winning team.
First Mr. Mphatso Thole (LHM Manager)presented money as special gift to Andrew Mthiko, the scorer from Day Team. Second, a ball was presented to the whole school through Mr. Joseph Mzungu, the Deputy Head Teacher along with oother students and teachers amid hand clappings from the audience.
The outreach program was planned in order to strengthen the Bible Correspondence Course club that the Ministry centre is running at Mlodza School. The club was established in October 2011 with over 100 learners enrollment. The Audience Relations staff used to follow up to this club and noted with concern that the school had no games materials including footballs, netballs, nets, goal posts just mentioning very few. Then LHM management thought of providing a single as a gift to school. LHM management said the ministry will provide another ball for girls teams this coming January 2012 when BCC students will be graduating.
