Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Global Compassion Coalition has announced the opening of its offices in Malawi with an aim of developing \u2018hubs of compassion\u2019 through the country.<\/p>\n

The coalition is an international movement of compassion researchers, teachers, and activists working to spread and embed compassionate thinking, feeling, and action.<\/p>\n

Currently, it has over 125, 000 members and a network of more than 90 Connector groups across the world.<\/p>\n

In Malawi, the coalition is being spearheaded by Zomba-based nurse, Suzy Dzimbiri.<\/p>\n

At their launch meeting this week, Compassion Connectors Malawi announced their commitment to creating a \u201ccompassionate Malawi\u201d through a combination of community organizing and national-level campaigning.<\/p>\n

The focus of their activities will be on connecting communities together, challenging prejudice, and getting support to individuals in need.<\/p>\n

Dzimbiri has already been active in her community of Zomba, establishing a program of support for isolated older individuals. She now supports upwards of 20 people with weekly visits and by organizing for supplies of food and medicine to be brought to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was brought up with a fundamental belief \u2013 that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and valued. And yet in society we see that too many people are denied that right. People who are excluded and isolated. People who simply lack the resources to lead a decent life. I want Malawi to be a country where everyone can feel welcomed. We are a beautiful nation made up of beautiful people. Let us celebrate that and work together \u2013 pooling talents, skills, and resources for the better of all. We face many challenges. But we cannot deal with them divided nor wait for someone else to fix them for us. I invite everyone to join me and my fellow Connectors in building a wave of compassionate action that will spread across our country,\u201d said Dzimbiri.<\/p>\n

Dr Mamphela Ramphele, the sitting Chairperson of the Global Compassion Coalition, said he knows his work from his association with the Black Consciousness Movement and with Reimagine (SA) that community empowerment is the route to transformative social change.<\/p>\n

\u201cVery often the status quo is maintained because whole populations have not yet realised or utilised their own power. Suzy and her team\u2019s work in Malawi is going to be instrumental in supporting his people to come together, see their common humanity, recognize their own strengths and resources, and use those to create new cultures and institutions \u2013 ones that support, care, and empower,\u201d said Ramphele.<\/p>\n
