This has been the case since he was born,\u201d said<\/p>\n<p>She further added that the problem has for a long time affected his education but also in terms of socialization in the society. She therefore commended CFT for the donation, saying it will go a long way in easing his mobility challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking during the wheelchair handover ceremony, CFT regional Commander for the Southern Region, Griffin Maruwasa said, they were compelled to make the donation after noting the mobility challenges the young boy was facing in his daily life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were concerned looking at the problems this boy was facing, that is the reason we thought of making this donation,\u201d Maruwasa said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that CFT believes that the wheelchair donation will also help Chisomo, currently in Standard 4, to excel in his studies and be self-reliant in the future. During the ceremony, Maruwasa was accompanied by the CFT District Commander for Chiradzulu and the entire Executive committee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
