SPONSORSHIP EVENTS: Three wheelchairs have been given to three very deserving children. The money for this was raised by Mr Hasanain Rajabali and his colleagues. They organised a yearly Footie Tournament in memory of Zulkrnain a football mad boy who died in Birmingham at the age of 14. The 2008 tournament featured 6 football teams and raised a total of £900 pounds.

+	Bibiana Mbushi is an albino orphan who was living with her aunt before unknown intruders invaded her aunt's home (28/12/2007) and cut off her right leg. They wrongly believed that having part of an albino's body would make them rich. Bibiana is still hospitalised at the Geita Hospital for security purposes.
+	Edward Bernard is a boy of nine years old. He contracted polio at the age of three and became disabled. He is studying in Kaseme Primary School (standard three) and according to his class teacher he is doing very well.
+	Maisha Bupina is a fourteen year old girl. She was born with a disability and has never been to school due to her not having a wheelchair. After receiving the donation from TDCF, Nelico is in the process of organising education for her with the District Education Officer. She will hopefully be able to join the Memkwa Program.
