Holy Spirit Parish Malngali and the School for the Blind

By -

This is Father Chomba’s Home Parish but it is also the site for the Malangali School for the blind.  These kids have it rough, about a third of them are blind and 70% suffer from Albinoism.  As Albino’s they are outcast from much of society, even their families.  The center needs better Acces to water, shoes, and hats for the kids and special skin cream for the complications of Albinoism.  We did what we could while we were there but they need much more help than we could provide.
