We were gathering in classrooms and sometimes in churches which was an inconvenience,\u201d Mulenga said.<\/p>\n<p>The community managed to source about K6.6 million which has been used to build the hall from foundation to beam level. \u201cWe are asking Chitipa District Council and other well-wishers to support us by roofing the hall so that we start using it before rains start,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Acting Group Village Headman (GVH) Mweneishalikira said the community members have tried their best to source the funds for the development. \u201cThe funds collected through contributions have all been used. We need support from the District Council and other stakeholders to finish construction of the hall,\u201d said GVH Mweneisyalikira.<\/p>\n<p>He thanked Chitipa District Council for providing technical support during the construction period which he said has helped build a strong and quality structure.<\/p>\n<p>Director of Public Works for Chitipa District Council, Misheck Gondwe saluted people of Ishalikira for their zeal in development.
