LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Malawian Socialite and Entrepreneur based in America Chawezi Banda popularly known as Cha Cha on Wednesday, December 13, 2023 visited Malingunde School for the blind in Lilongwe where apart from interacting with the learners, she donated various assorted items including sugar, cooking oil, rice, soya pieces and among others.

Speaking during the donation, Cha Cha said wanted to extend her goodwill by showing love and care to the needy during this festive season.
She said every citizen has a responsibility of helping those grappling with ends meet.
“I felt it was necessary to share the little I have to these kids this festive season. The bible teaches us to show love to the underprivileged,” she said.
