CHAMA, News, ,
CHAMA, TANZANIA CHAPTER CHILD “VULNERABILITY” IN TANZANIA  Around 2000, in recognition of the complex ways that MALARIA, HIV and AIDS affects children and communities, development agencies began to shift away from the term “AIDS orphans” “MALARIA orphans” to a more inclusive category: “orphans and vulnerable children,” or OVC (USAID, 2000; World Bank, 2004).

By Bar. Nworah Patrick I have no problems with Buhari's demeanor and reluctant body language while hundreds of Nigerians are killed because of mere Cow. My problem is with the lost "Youths" that still defend this "democratic disgrace" of a man. My problem is with the likes of Fr. Ejike Mbaka who claimed he heard God ask we vote this man for good. I wonder if God foresee this killing of Christians under this regime, and still require we vote it in. Now they are silent expectedly. My problem is why i can't still see our Heavy weight Pastors condemn…
