He said he learned the act of giving from his father who used to also visit the prisons when he was alive.

Moses told Briefly News that he is merely continuing the ministry of his late father. He said he once saw some ex-prisoners who had completed their jail terms. He was surprised when the prisoners recognised him and said he used to visit them.

His words:

"This is what I grew up to see my father doing as a child. My late father, Mr Gowon Amusa was one of the committed members of prison ministry AGC Bekpam obudu. They always held service with them every Sunday to reach out to the them about the coming of Christ and help them with what the need.

Teenage sisters make a difference by collecting uniforms for struggling pupils in their community

In a related story, Briefly News reported that one does not need to have a fat bank balance to be able to help others. The two sisters, Nomvelo and Dineo Dlamini have proven that fact by initiating a Donate A Uniform Campaign.

The 13-year-old and a 16-year-old said they collected uniforms and shoes which were still in good condition from those who no longer needed them and donated them to underprivileged children.

Speaking to Briefly News, the young ladies said they were motivated by their own experiences as they have faced the pain of being different from their fellow learners just because they did not have all school needs.
