ZANIS reports that he said this in Choma district today when he toured St. Mulumba School for Special Education to familiarise himself with the operations of the institution. The School is run by the Catholic Church and it was founded in 1985 by a Catholic nun, Sister Philippa O’Sullivan.

He implored other churches to emulate the Catholic Church in uplifting the welfare of the vulnerable people in society.
