Meanwhile, Lusaka Conference Health Director Charity Ngondo encouraged other churches to hold health expos where underprivileged citizens may be helped.

“I wish to thank Kafue Mission District youths in conjunction with the Health Department for rendering selÀess acts of charity at Kalukungu Market in Kafue town. Such voluntary works should be encouraged”, she said.

Ms. Ngondo said the SDA church members in Lusaka Province were encouraged to run crusades alongside health expos.
