The 'Big Day' has finally arrived for mothers and children of communities around Chikankata. On 20th February 2010 (Saturday), the Christian Resource Centre has distributed babies' and children's clothes to the most needy families (55 families in all) of the area. This has been made possible by the generous contributions of various partners within and abroad. Lindsay Elizabeth Rossendell specifically donated boxes of clothes for this programme all the way from Australia.
