    YOHANA 9:2-7 Wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza Wakisema Radi, ni yupi aliyetenda dhambi, mtu huyu au wazazi wake, hata zaliwe kipofu? Yesu akajibu, Huyu hakutenda dhambi wala wazazi wake; bali kazi za Mungu zidhihirishwe ndani yake. Imetupasa kuzifanya kazi zake yeye aliyenipeleka maadamu ni mchana na usiku waja asipoweza mtu kufanya kazi. Muda nilipo ulimwenguni mimi ni nuru ya ulimwengu. Alipokwisha kusema hayo alitema mate chini, akaifanya tope kwa yale mate. Akampaka kipofu tope za macho, akamwambia Nenda kanawe katika birika ya Siloamu, basi akaenda na kunawa; akarudi anaona. Basi jirani zake na wale waliomwona zamani kuwa ni mwombaji wakasema, Je! Huyu si Yule aliyekuwa akiketi na kuomba? Wengine wakasema, ndiye wengine wakasema La, lakini amefanana naye.

  Stephanie Koster Mama Mlezi wa Kituo cha Mt. Nicholaus Children Center Akisoma Historia ya Kituo Kwa Wageni Waliotembelea Kituo hapo tarehe 05/02/2013 Mwanadamu mkamilifu apoamka asubuhi na kuanza siku yake kwa kutekeleza majukumu yake ya kawaida ya kila siku ya kujiingizia kipato halali cha kujikimu na kuyafanya maisha yasonge mbele huwa siyo rahisi kukumbuka kuwa kuna binadamu ambao wanahitaji msaada na uangalizi wa karibu sana. Mashirika, Taasisi mbalimbali za serikali na binafsi aidha watu mmoja mmoja katika kuangalia makundi maalum ya kusaidia mara nyingi huwakumbuka watoto yatima na waishio katika mazingira magumu, wazee na walemavu wa viungo. Lakini kuna kundi maalum ambalo jamii hulisahau bila kulipa kipaumbele.. Walemavu wenye utindio wa ubongo katika jamii zetu za kitanzania husaulika sana na kuachwa bila msaada wowote wa karibu, mfano kupatiwa huduma ya karibu kama huduma za kiafya, elimu aidha kuwa na mahusiano ya kawaida...
