Father Songa said this after a review meeting of the first quarter for the Project that took place in Chitipa from Tuesday till Thursday.
“We have to be united in purpose because the Community Transformation Project is a program with different aspects in it like agriculture, education, nutrition, health and the spiritual aspects all these are meant to evangelize and develop a person as a whole as such the officers have to get focused on a human person as a whole as well” Father Songa said.
