The Development initiative of Nkwen DIN has
donated 100 bags of cement worth FCFA 500.000 to St Michaels Parish Church
Futru Nkwen. The donation was made Thursday August 3, 2017 during a brief
ceremony in front of the Parish Church. On hand to receive the gift was Rev Fr
Hypolite Wirnkar Tanfen Parish Priest, members of the Parish Pastoral Council
led by the President Theresia Tamunang and members of the golden jubilee
project with the Ngante Dominic the chairman of the committee present.
The
cement according to the US based donor development initiative is for the hall
project the parish has been working on for some time now.
According to Dr Andrew Ndiforngwa leader of
the donating DIN-USA delegation, his initiative was compelled to making the
donation following the December 2017 project timeline given by the Parish
Priest. The donation realized with funds from member contributions and separate
individual contributions, DIN expects that the Church will complete the hall
project within record time.
Receiving, the representatives of the Church
expressed gratitude to DIN for reacting so promptly to their appeal. The
project that has so far gone beyond the ground floor, foundation, pillar
erection and decking has largely been realized with funds and material support from
benevolent groups and individuals like DIN-USA.
Initiatives like “operation one man” and
special support from families and during other events like marriages have been
conceived to permit everyone participate in the construction of the befitting
hall for the parish and the community. Rev Fr Hypolite has been on an offensive
both on air and online to raise funds for the project which so far has been
fruitful though slow.
The donation to Futru Parish hall project is not the first
from DIN-USA. The Nkwen development focused initiative has before now donated
benches to Government Technical School Nkeung.
Dr Andrew Ndiforngwa says their initiative is strictly for development.
