Fifty  three years old Vice District Governor Lion Hyderali Gangji who is now admitted in a hospital in Mumbai, India, is being assessed for his medical problems. Lions in Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya have shown sincere concern and have offered their prayers through letters, email and messages.

In Dar es Salaam, a religious congregation was held at Shahi Darbar Restaurant where get-well  Islamic Prayers were offered and joint 'Maghrib' or evening prayers were conducted. Some followers of Hindu Religion also took the opportunity to offer prayers.

District Governor Lion Wilson Ndesanjo spoke about his deputy who was undergoing medical assessment by a group of specialist doctors in Mumbai. In a written message, he said, "I am touched by your love, concern and decision to organize prayers for 2nd Vice District Governor Lion Hyderali Gangji."

The religious prayers were organized by Proprietor of Shahi Darbar Restaurant, Lion Shakil Ansari who is also President of L.C. of Dar es Salaam Central, Zone Chairperson Lion M. Bakari, District Officer Lion Zahira Patwa and others. Lion Bakari in his capacity as Z.C. also spoke about the sick Vice District Governor and thanked all for turning up for prayers.

Prayers were also held for well-being of Madame Bilkis Bano, mother of Zahira Patwa and Nafisa Suleimanji wife of Lion Salim Suleimanji (Blogger of this Blog) who are also under medical treatment in India. Lion Suleimanji could not attend the prayers meeting as he was on his way, with his spouse, to India.

Among the prominent people who sent "get well" letters and messages included PDG Lion Abdul Majid Khan, GLT Coordinator/PDG/IPMCC  Lion Murtaza Dungarwalla, Pharma, RC Yusuf Dalal, RC Geofrey Mwesigwa, Blogger Lion Valeria Mwesigwa, Lion Pushpa Shah President Pwani, PCS Inderjit Singh Rehal, PCS Lion Manish Chawda, PCS Salome Luwaga, PP Shanti Shah, President of L.C. City Hon. Azim Premji. The list of sympathizers continue to grow and it seems that it will not be possible to name each and every Lion or Members of the public in this Blog.

The Bloggers of this Blog Lion Salim Suleimanji, Lion Valeria Mwesigwa and writer of this story wish to convey their sincere feelings and offer prayers for the Vice District Governor.

Lion Hyderali Gangji's theme during the election time in Nairobi was: "Ordinary people, amazing things". His vision and philosophy of life, according to Campaign Chairperson Lion Zahira Patwa is: "My wish is to see that the community we belong to has less tears and more joy."
