By Amos Batisayi STATE-OWNED mobile operator NetOne on Monday donated Christmas groceries worth $300 000 to St Agnes Children’s Home in Gokwe, Midlands province.
“As part of NetOne’s 25th anniversary celebrations, NetOne has taken time to alleviate the plight of the less privileged members of the society,” NetOne head of marketing and public relations Roselyn Chisveto said.
“Christmas is a time to share love and giving, at such a time it is important to reach out to the less privileged, elderly and the disabled.
“As NetOne we have come up with this initiative to share the Christmas cheer with the orphans, the elderly and the disabled.”
Sister Lilian Murakwani, speaking on behalf of St Agnes Children’s Home said the donation was a timely boost for the festive season.
