She explained some of the worries and difficulties of the Centre, which included the need for more tricycles, which are a measure means of movement for them, food stuff and other basic necessities. This was followed by a speech from the president of DIVAS. She responded that the plea of the centre tie in with DIVAS’ objectives, therefore the group promised to help the Centre in their own little way. Songs of praise by both parties followed and then the presentation of gifts, like rice, palm oil, toilet tissue, washing soap and clothes were offered. The group took snapshots with members of the centre and ended the day with prayers. The handicaps and the staff were so pleased and said they look forward to another opportunity like this. The two parties exchanged welfare greetings and parted ways.
Outcome: The DIVAS ladies left the centre satisfied because they noticed that the attendants were more lively and happier by the end of their visit.
