Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>THE Anglican mission St Mary\u2019s parish at Odibo in the Ohangwena Region will be hosting a fundraising event to raise money for the renovation of their church.<\/p>\n

The building has met its cracks and requires tremendous renovation if it is to stand for many years to come.<\/p>\n

The church was established in August 1924 by George Tobias, Nelson Fogarty, and Reverend R White, an Anglican priest who had the task of setting up a mission in northern Ovamboland.<\/p>\n

Today, the parish is regarded as the mother of all parishes in the Anglican Diocese of Namibia.<\/p>\n

The church is slated to host their fundraising event next Sunday, where a cow will be won.<\/p>\n

The chairperson of the project, Nauta William, said the event will be held at the church ground.<\/p>\n

William indicated that the parish priest and her team decided to take a drastic step to renovate the whole building from the roof to the entire wall.<\/p>\n

\u201cWork has already started. This is a very big project and requires more funds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that in order to raise more funds and complete the work, collective effort is required by all people of faith.<\/p>\n

William then called on all Namibians to turn up in large numbers to make the event a success.<\/p>\n
