“We have a department that is there to help the disabled, widows, orphans and the disadvantaged in communities. We give groceries and clothes to our colleagues at Copota and all seven districts across the province every December. We are doing it for God. We give goods to our church leaders in the districts and they will donate them to PWDs and the disadvantaged in their communities,” he said.
