A HEALTHY MILK COW FOR MSANDAKA

Moshi, Tanzania: A healthy looking milk cow was donated by Well-Wishers Lion Jerome and others from Belgium to Msandaka Lions Deaf Centre where over eighty students are studying at this special school.

The Good Samaritan Lion was among the Well-Wishers who collected a sum of Euro 1,400:00 during Christmas festivals in Belgium  last year for purchase of the milk cow. Part of the donation is  also for keeping the cow medically fit by the appointed Vet Doctor. The centre has now several milk cows for providing balanced diet to the students.

It was all excitement at the Msandaka Lions Deaf Centre when the cow was brought to the centre in an open truck. Unable to express their excitement and joy vocally, they expressed a common sign language by raising their open shaking palms. 

Members of Lions Club of Moshi Kibo led by their club President Lion  M. Jones and District Officer Lion Inderjeet S. Rehal were at the handing over ceremony all beaming with excitement and satisfaction at the great accomplished task.

As soon as the news about the project reached the Cabinet Secretary Lion Kishore Simzia and Region Chairperson   Lion Godfrey Sawe, messages of congratulations were sent to the club leaders. 

District Officer responsible for International Relations, Lion Rizwan Qadri said that by donating a cow to the centre, the Donors and the club have generated enormous excitement to all concerned. 

He further stated,  quoting a Chinese proverbial advice

The milk cow finally arrived at the Msandaka Lions Deaf Centre in Moshi, Tanzania as a kind donation from Belgium. Note the sign language of gratitude immediately after the handing over ceremony by President Lion Jones and District Officer Lion Rehal standing extreme right.
