Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB) says the Church is running out of resources to continue exercising charity due to the continued Corona Virus pandemic and its effects everywhere in the word.Rt. Rev. Moses Hamungole said this when he received the forth donation of various food stuff and hygienic materials from C & S Investments in Lusaka Tuesday, 1st September, 2020.These donated food stuff and hygienic materials are in response to Covid-19 fight.Rt. Rev. Hamungole who is also Monze Diocese Bishop further said this time around the church in Zambia is challenged to raise resources within the country for her works of charity.He has since appealed to all people to come and help in alleviating the suffering of the poor and all who least members of society.“Therefore my brothers and Sisters, nothing is too little. For example, if many of us give a little, just even 2 Kwacha, it can go a long way in feeding the hungry. Imagine if a thousands of us contribute just a 5 Kwacha each month in a parish throughout Zambia between now and the end of December, 2020. This can be feed a number of families in our communities,” he said.And Bishop Hamungole has said that as long as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to ravage communities, the impact will not be on the health alone but also on social, economic and political sectors.He said most people are feeling the impact of the pandemic both at home and work as some have lost jobs in the meantime the cost of living has gone high.And speaking during the presentation of the donated items, C &S Investments representative George Chellah gave his company’s indebtedness to the Catholic for its genuine stance for the weak, disadvantaged and underprivileged segments of the population.“At all times, you have answered the call to action to bring about a more equal society and practically demonstrated this by clothing, feeding, heeding and educating those who otherwise would not have access to any reasonable fulfillment of such needs,” said Mr. Chellah.
