The police officers gave Halima a blanket worth K20,000.

Speaking to the gathering, chairperson for the female police officers lnspector Norah Chimwala congratulated Halima for proving to the world that a girl child can do even better than a male child.

“The world has become so competitive and MSCE is just a stepping stone therefore you need higher education attainment to make it in this world,” she said.

Halima thanked the officers for the gift saying it was a surprise to receive such a gift.

“I am humbled and this is unexpectedly especially from Police personnel. I promise to continue working hard on my studies and I am urging my fellow students to respect our teachers and follow my footsteps,” said she said.

Mangochi Police Women Network has been active in both charity and work related tasks that includes visits and donations, sensitization awareness and school outreach programs on child marriages and teenage pregnancies.
