Though they expressed gratitude for what is being done, most of them were not in a position to afford paying even K10,000. The little they have is spent on transporting the children to therapy sessions and felt that for them this was more important than membership fees.
The mothers group has attracted a number of corporate companies and individuals within the Copperbelt who were donating some materials like diapers, some food packs once in a while, as well as paying school fees for those children who were going to Da- Gamma Home for the Handicapped in Luanshya. The mothers will be happy to come to Chisamba when the Cerebral Palsy Centre is completed to be taught how to care for the children in a professional way.
While on the Copperbelt, I had to look for a 40ft Steel Container to use as storage as well as a site office. The task had to be done by browsing the Readers Bargains in the Daily Newspapers and phoning various places including mining companies.
A Container was identified, but by the time I got to the actual place it had been sold for ZK21m. The search had to start all over again.
