Your money will be a real lifelinefor a hospital that lives on a shoestring with insufficient resources toprovide even basic care and medicines. The Hospital Director, Canon Isaac Mgegodoes a wonderful job in managing this amazing church hospital which continuesto offer care to so many who have so little and I can imagine his joy andhappiness when he receives this spendid gift from the people and parishesof the Diocese of Worcester.”
