Chinese embassy, Teen Rescue Mission donate to inferno victims

THE Chinese embassy in Zimbabwe, through the Hope Harbor project co-organised by Teen Rescue Mission, yesterday donated school fees and stationery to some of the traders who lost their wares in an inferno that ravaged Mbare Musika market last month.

A total of 4 695 traders were directly affected by the inferno that engulfed the market place, impacting the livelihoods of 23 000 people.

Speaking at the handover ceremony at Mbare Stodart Hall, Chinese ambassador to Zimbabwe Zhou Ding said the embassy wants the children of the affected traders to continue with education “as they are the future and the torchbearers of our dreams and aspirations”.
