MOCHUDI: Diamond Trading Company Botswana (DTCB) donated P1.9 million payable over three years to the Mochudi Resource Centre of the Blind (MRCB) yesterday. The donation will be used to purchase Braille computer equipment and fund the construction of a music block.

MRCB is the institution that produced musical greats such as the late Donald “Don B” Botshelo and Zacharia “Sespo” Piet among others. DTCB’s kind gesture was in response to MRCB’s cry for assistance from the business community and civil society to help them build a fully-fledged resource centre.

During the handover ceremony, Attorney General Athaliah Molokomme, who is also a MRCB board member, said the event marked DTC Botswana’s milestone in its quest to support under privileged community members.
