Opposition United Democratic Front (UDF) youth wing paid a visit to Mlambe hospital in Blantyre to bring festive season cheer to patients.
The ‘youth for hope’ comprising youthful lawyers, business youth, students from University of Malawi cheered patients and gave out assorted food and non-food items worth undisclosed amount..
Lawmaker Shaibu Kaliati, who is also deputy youth director of UDF, led the group.
The parcels comprised among other things sugar, salt, cooking oil and soap.
Kaliati said they thought of making the donation as one way of celebrating the festive season with the patients.
“As UDF youth for hope we want to be involved in charity and development work to reflect the agenda for change of the party being propelled by our president Atupele Muluzi,” said Kaliati.
The Hospital officials thanked the UDF for the donation, noting that patients generally require a lot of food supplements so that the medicine can effectively work.
