On February 19, 2011, Mr. Emmanuel Matinyi (third left in the picture, front row with white shirt), a member of St Luke's Pro-Cathedral Church in Tarime town donated over 30 bed nets to all clergy and catechists in the Diocese of Tarime. This was his personal response to a sermon by the Bishop of the Diocese last year in which he emphasized the need for Christians to help the diocese in its efforts to improve the living conditions for the clergy and catechists.
As many would know, malaria is now expensive to treat and can kill both children and adults if the patient does not get proper treatment. Yet many of the clergy lead very young and small congregations able to pay as little as $2-3 a month as stipend. As a result the majority of clergy and catechists cannot afford bed nets that could protect them against malaria infecting mosquito.  So the Bishop and the clergy and catechists thanked Mr. Matinyi for his understanding and generosity and support.
