Bank of India in Botswana, on Tuesday, donated P15 000 to Cheshire foundation to purchase four commode chairs.
When presenting the donation, managing director of Zambezi Group of Companies, Mr Ishmael Nshakashogwe praised the bank for the gesture, highlighting that the bank continued undividedly to provide services to Botswana.
He said it also participated in responding to issues of national importance and highly showcasing their commitment towards their cause of goodwill.
Mr Nshakashogwe thanked the leadership of Cheshire Foundation for their tireless, hard work and commitment in supporting the disadvantaged and the needy people especially children that deserved to live a life that everyone lived.
He also thanked the patrons, donors and supporters for their unique selfless efforts towards restoring the lives of disadvantaged, abandoned, disabled, mentally and physically challenged children.
“It is my sincere hope that the rest of financial institutions, champion of industries, business communities will learn a lot from what Bank of India continues to do and learn a lot from what Cheshire Foundation continues to do to gain the courage, sympathy, and appetite including my organisation,” he said.
For his part, the national executive chairperson of Cheshire Foundation, Mr Manhar Mooney said it was the responsibility of government and communities living throughout the world to take care of the disabled as their institutions cannot do this alone.
He said ‘disabled people are differently abled, they are not really disabled they can do amazing things that normal people cannot do, they experiences on daily basis in other activities.’
Mr Mooney further said as the institution they refused to accept that people were disabled and they commonly believe that ‘if one eye is lost, the other eye becomes more powerful.’
He thanked Bank of India for taking their relationship beyond just banking, as demonstrated by the gesture they provided to Cheshire Foundation.ENDS
